Ultrasound
Ultrasounds offer a non-invasive and pain-free examination. This test exposes a specific part of the body to high frequency sound waves that generate real-time images.
At CDN healthcare we strive to deliver the highest quality medical diagnostic results in the most professional and efficient manner. All imaging equipment is digital and falls into the Ministry of Health and long term care standards.

How to prepare for the examination
learn morePreparations and Instructions
It is IMPORTANT that you follow your specific Test Instruction
Clothing
An ultrasound may require you to remove articles of clothing, and you may be asked to put on a paper gown. Certain jewelry items might need to be taken off as they could disrupt the procedure. Loose clothing is required for most ultrasound types.
Before The Test
You will be asked into the room after changing into a gown or removing clothing from the area being examined. You may be asked to take up a certain position and stay in that position for the most of the test.
During The Test
A technician would place a lubricating gel onto the area being examined to ensure a device called a transducer makes contact with your skin. For some ultrasound tests (transvaginal and transrectal), the probe is inserted into a natural opening in the body. Most other ultrasound tests are done on the skin surface.
After The Test
You can remove the ultrasound gel with relative ease and no traces. You may go about your daily activities immediately after the test unless otherwise advised by our staff. The reports will be produced by the reading physician and shared with your referring doctor. You may discuss these results with your doctor at a follow-up appointment.
