Ultrasounds in West Bridgewater, MA

When it comes to your health, the team at Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology takes a comprehensive approach to diagnosing medical conditions, assessing your total wellness, and treating your issues. Ultrasounds (also called sonograms) are diagnostic imaging tests that utilize high-frequency sound waves to produce a safe and painless image of your internal body structures. A general ultrasound technique is a noninvasive and painless imaging test that uses sound waves to make images of organs and other tissues inside your body using a handheld ultrasound wand. It allows us to evaluate your different organs for function and structure integrity without surgery. Our certified ultrasound tech performs the Ultrasound test, and a board-certified radiologist will review/read the images. This versatile imaging test can be used for patients in West Bridgewater, MA of all ages to examine a wide range of organs and tissues, including:

• Thyroid Ultrasound Test - The thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped gland that lies at the lower part of your neck. It regulates the body's metabolism by producing thyroid hormone which gives you energy. An ultrasound is performed to evaluate the thyroid for size, nodules and cysts.
• Soft tissue Ultrasound - A soft tissue ultrasound is performed to evaluate tissue for lipomas, fibromas, epidermal and ganglion cysts, lymph nodes, and masses that are present. It is important to evaluate these lesions for size, growth, and whether they are solid or cystic.
