Ultrasound in Glendale, California
Radiation-free, real-time imaging for soft tissue, organs and blood flow including Sonocine automated breast ultrasound for dense tissue. Same-day appointments, most insurance accepted.
What is an ultrasound?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves rather than radiation to produce live images of soft tissue, organs and blood flow. A small probe sends sound into the body and listens for the echoes, building a moving picture on screen in real time.
Because there is no radiation involved it is safe during pregnancy and can be repeated as often as needed. It is painless, requires little or no preparation for most exams, and is often the first test ordered by physicians across Glendale when something needs a closer look.

Dense breast tissue? See more.
Dense tissue appears white on a mammogram, the same color as many cancers, which means findings can hide in plain sight. Sonocine automated whole-breast ultrasound scans the entire breast systematically as a supplement to mammography, with no radiation and no compression.
