CHC/SEK offers safe, radiation-free ultrasound imaging close to home, using sound waves to create real-time images that help guide your care. Also called sonography, ultrasound is a painless, non-invasive imaging service that provides clear, accurate images to support diagnosis and treatment. Our skilled technologists are committed to making your experience comfortable and reassuring.
Common ultrasound exams:
- Abdominal
- Breast
- Pelvic
- Prenatal
- Renal (Kidney)
- Thyroid
- Vascular
What to expect during your ultrasound appointment:
- You will start by getting settled on the exam table.
- A warm, water-based gel is applied to your skin to help create clear images.
- The technologist will then glide a small handheld device over the area, using gentle pressure to capture detailed views.
- You may be asked to shift positions or briefly hold your breath so the technologist can get the best angles.
Ultrasounds are painless for most patients, though you may feel mild pressure if you’re being scanned for an injury or have a full bladder. Images appear instantly and are saved for the radiologist to review, keeping you informed and empowered at every step.
Ultrasounds are available Monday – Friday at our Baxter Springs, Fort Scott, Pittsburg North, and Pittsburg South locations.
