Question 7

What are the benefits of conducting an Ultrasound?

The main benefit to an Ultrasound is that it is painless and is a non-invasive procedure that does not require needles, injections, or incisions.

Question 8

Why is a low-fat meal recommended the evening before an Ultrasound?

A low-fat meal for patients conducting an Ultrasound of the gallbladder is required because the gallbladder constricts or squeezes any food or drink containing fat. This makes it difficult to obtain a clear image necessary for accurate diagnosis.

Question 9

Why do some Ultrasounds require fasting a few hours before the test?

Accepted Answer

Doctors usually recommend fasting for 8 to 12 hours before an abdominal Ultrasound because food may result in gas production and make it hard to create a clear image of the abdomen, making it difficult to interpret the results.

Is an Ultrasound safe?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

What are the limitations of Ultrasounds?

Accepted Answer

Some common limitations of Ultrasounds are that the procedure cannot study the lungs since they are filled with air, posing difficulty in creating images.
Also, an ultrasound cannot diagnose any bone diseases as it cannot penetrate through dense bones. It is only capable of detecting growths and infections surrounding the outer layer of the bones.

Question 12

What might affect Ultrasound results?

Accepted Answer

Some factors affecting Ultrasound results are severe obesity, unfilled bladders or filled bladders in other cases, the presence of food or beverages in the stomach that may disrupt the images, and excess gas in the stomach.

Your doctor may suggest other tests for further diagnosis of conditions.

Question 14

What is a limited Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

The limited Ultrasound helps assess definite aspects of pregnancy, such as the location of the fetus (whether it is present inside the uterus or outside). It also ascertains whether the pregnancy is viable and determines the gestational age. However, it may not elucidate details about the baby’s health.

Question 15

What is a specialised Ultrasound test?
