Trans Abdominal Ultrasound Services in Miami

A trans abdominal ultrasound (TAU) is a painless, safe procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the inside of your body. It’s not like a CT scan, which uses X-rays and radiation. This type of imaging is considered safe for all ages, including pregnant women.

During a trans abdominal ultrasound, the doctor places a small device called a transducer against your skin and moves it over the area being examined. A picture of your internal organs will appear on a monitor, as a high-frequency sound wave passes through your body and into the organ being examined.

Because it doesn’t involve radiation, an ultrasound is often used as a first-line screening tool to help detect the presence of ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids. It can also be used to monitor fetal growth during pregnancy.
