Medical tests can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re not quite sure what to expect. One such test is sonography, also known as an ultrasound scan. Whether it’s your first time or you’ve done it before, it helps to be fully prepared—both mentally and physically. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to prepare for a sonography test, step by step.
What is a Sonography Test?
Sonography or ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the inside of your body. It helps doctors assess organs, tissues, and even blood flow. It’s commonly used in:
- Pregnancy (to check on fetal development)
- Abdominal issues (like gallstones, liver problems)
- Pelvic exams (uterus, ovaries, bladder)
- Kidneys and urinary tract
- Thyroid and soft tissue
- Heart (echocardiography)
The good news? It’s safe, painless, and doesn’t use radiation like X-rays or CT scans.
