Ultrasound

A Major and Minor Emergency Diagnostic Aid

Ultrasounds have become synonymous with pregnancy and fetal development. However, an ultrasound has many uses besides monitoring a baby’s health. It can also be used to diagnose other medical conditions where an internal picture of the body is needed. At Sun City Emergency Room, our doctors use ultrasounds for help diagnosing the cause of a major or minor emergency. This non-invasive procedure can show abnormalities and other causes of abdominal pain, joint pain, and more.

An Ultrasound is an Important Diagnostic Tool

When you visit Sun City Emergency Room, you will find a convenient 24-hour emergency clinic that makes your medical care a priority.

Typically, the most common condition that calls for the use of an ultrasound is abdominal pain. Consequently, abdominal pain can point to many different conditions, so doctors use ultrasounds to narrow down your diagnosis. In addition to abdominal pain, an ultrasound may be used in order to get a better picture the following conditions:

• Bowel obstructions
• Ovarian cysts
• Pregnancy
• Stomach pain
• Joint pain

Getting accurate readings of a patient’s’ soft tissues and organs makes an ultrasound an essential diagnostic tool in a major or minor emergency.
