Ultrasound

Meet Danielle and hear her story about having an ultrasound at Radia.

An ultrasound is typically a little more "hands-on" than some of the other imaging exams, which is why feeling comfortable with the sonographer is so important. Danielle talks about her ultrasound experience and how her technologist was able to put her at ease during the exam.
