At Ridgecrest Regional Hospital, our Ultrasound Department provides high-quality,
compassionate diagnostic imaging to help diagnose, monitor, and guide
treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. Using advanced ultrasound
technology, our experienced sonographers perform safe, non-invasive examinations
that produce detailed images of the body's internal structures without
the use of radiation.
Ultrasound plays an important role in diagnosing and monitoring many other
health conditions throughout the body. Your healthcare provider may recommend
an ultrasound to evaluate organs, blood vessels, soft tissues, or to assist
with image-guided procedures.

How Ultrasound Works
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of structures
inside the body. During the exam, a trained technologist applies a small
amount of gel to the skin and moves a handheld device called a transducer
over the area being examined.
The transducer sends sound waves into the body, which bounce off organs
and tissues and return to the device. A computer then converts these sound
waves into real-time images, allowing your provider to evaluate the area
being examined.
