Advanced Ultrasound Services

An ultrasound is used to produce images of the body’s organs or blood flow, with high-frequency sound waves. At Longhorn Imaging in Austin and Central Texas, our highly trained team uses the most advanced ultrasound technology to reveal these important images in real time. Moreover, since this type of technology relies on sound waves, there is no exposure to radiation. An ultrasound can be helpful for a number of conditions, including detecting tumors, determining how far along a pregnancy is, examining the size and position of a developing baby, and inspecting the reproductive and abdominal organs.

If you need an ultrasound in Austin, our imaging specialists can provide the compassionate and skilled care you deserve to obtain the results you need. We will answer any questions you may have throughout the process and address your concerns, so you can have total clarity on what to expect when you visit our office.

Ultrasound Benefits

Ultrasound tests can provide a wide range of benefits. Compared to other tests that need to utilize substances that act as contrast agents, an ultrasound does not require administering contrast chemicals to emphasize any areas within the body. Given that many people are allergic to some of these substances, not having to use them in an ultrasound helps ensure patient safety. Other benefits of an ultrasound include:

  • No downtime to recover
  • The process is painless and quick
  • It is easy to operate
  • Provides clear, real-time images
  • Is used for many types of medical conditions and cases
  • It is a very safe procedure with no harmful side effects

Welcome to Longhorn Imaging

How Does an Ultrasound Work?

To perform an ultrasound, a device will pass over the area of the body that needs to be examined. A thin layer of gel must be applied to the area, so that the ultrasound waves can be transmitted. The images are created when the device converts electrical current into soundwaves, which are then sent to the body’s tissue. 

Additionally, there is more than one type of ultrasound, which your doctor will choose based on your needs. These are the main types of ultrasounds available:

  • Prenatal ultrasound
  • An ultrasound that is used to guide procedures
  • Diagnostic ultrasound (including thyroid ultrasound, kidney ultrasound, and more)

Generally, ultrasounds take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. In some cases, a doctor may request additional scans for greater clarity regarding any concerns. Depending on the type of ultrasound in Austin you are having performed, the time you may have to wait for your results will vary, though at Longhorn Imaging, we are known for delivering fast testing results – both you and your doctor will appreciate our speed of service.

From the moment we stepped in, we were happily greeted and the front desk woman was so nice and efficient. I got there early per instructions and my ultrasound tech was so nice and friendly and very quick. All in all it was a nice quick appointment. Longhorn is the best!

Leah C.

From the moment I stepped through the door and was greeted by Ebony to the tech that did my ultrasound, it was a very pleasant experience. The waiting room was clean and had a calm vibe as I filled out paperwork. I didn’t feel like a # like I have at other larger imaging facilities. Thanks

Sherry S.

I first went there a couple weeks ago for an ultrasound type of diagnostic. I was so happy with them that when I found out that I needed an MRI, I asked my doctor to send the referral to them. Every person I dealt with, both at the front desk and in the back, were friendly and professional.

B.C.

The ladies at the front desk were so welcoming, helpful, and sweet. the ultrasound tech was very kind and vocal on what she was doing. Overall everyone made an experience I thought was going to be awkward and uncomfortable. into laughs at the front desk and the tech being vocal and calming music helped me relax.

Madeline V.

My wife and I both had ultrasound procedures here. What a good experience. The Ultrasound tech, Leah, was very friendly and professional. She was patient and at the conclusion explained what procedures were completed and what we could expect going forward. Thank you Longhorn and thank you Leah.
