Contact Dr. Ylisastigui for Your Ultrasound Needs
As Dr. Pedro Ylisastigui, MD, PA, a board-certified physician with extensive experience in diagnostic medicine, I recognize the significance of using advanced imaging techniques for precise diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Ultrasounds are a valuable tool in my practice, offering a safe and effective way to examine your internal organs, muscles, and tissues.
An ultrasound is a painless imaging technique that utilizes sound waves to create detailed pictures of your internal structures. Unlike X-rays, ultrasounds do not use radiation., making them a preferred choice for various examinations.
Here at my practice, I utilize ultrasound technology for a multitude of purposes, including:
• Examining organs: Liver, kidneys, uterus, ovaries, bladder, and more.
• Assessing blood flow: Evaluating circulation within the body.
• Guiding procedures: Assisting with biopsies and other minimally invasive procedures.
•Monitoring pregnancy: Tracking fetal growth and development.
Safety: No ionizing radiation exposure.
Comfort: Non-invasive procedure using only a gel and transducer.
Real-time imaging: Provides immediate visualization of internal structures.
Versatility: Applicable to a broad range of diagnostic needs.
Accuracy: Produces high-resolution images for effective diagnosis.
During your visit, you will likely be asked to change into a gown and lie comfortably on an examination table. A sonographer, a trained healthcare professional, will apply a warm gel to the examined area. They will then use a handheld transducer to transmit sound waves and capture returning echoes, creating images displayed on a monitor. The whole procedure usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes.
Ultrasound examinations can assist in diagnosing a wide range of conditions, such as:
• Gallstones and kidney stones
• Appendicitis
• Uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm
• Certain types of tumors
Is the procedure painful?
Typically painless, although some pressure may be felt during the examination.
How do I prepare?
Preparation varies depending on the specific ultrasound type. You may need to fast or have a full bladder.
Are there any risks?
Ultrasounds are generally low-risk, with potential discomfort from pressure being the most common concern.
