Ultrasound (Sonography)

Ultrasound is a procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to show what is inside your body. Unlike an X-ray, an ultrasound exam does not use radiation. Instead, a small microphone-like transducer is placed on the area of interest. High frequency sound waves are emitted and produce echoes from the internal tissues and organs. The transducer converts the echoes to electric signals to create an image.

At Baptist Health Imaging Center-Saline County, conveniently located off Interstate 30 in Benton, our sonographer is ARDMS credentialed and able to perform a variety of exams including: Abdomen, Pelvic, OB, Scrotal, Breast, Vascular (Venous and Arterial), and Thyroid. Your physician can call for additional testing options.
