Ultrasound RA008

Ultrasound is a method of creating images of the inside of the body using sound waves. The procedure is painless and involves very little discomfort. It is also a cost-effective way to obtain images of the inside of the body.

The procedure is usually performed by an ultrasound technician. They will apply a gel to the area being scanned to help the sound waves pass easily through the skin. A smooth handpiece known as a transducer is then moved across the area, and the images are displayed on a screen.

Ultrasound can be used on almost any part of the body. However, because sound waves do not move efficiently through bone, it is not effective for imaging structures inside the skull. Additionally, the images obtained by ultrasound are not as detailed as those produced by other imaging techniques, such as MRI or CT scans. Despite this, ultrasounds are quick, inexpensive, and can provide valuable diagnostic information.

Ultrasound imaging can help doctors identify the source of a patient’s symptoms. For example, ultrasounds are commonly used in women with pelvic pain to investigate potential causes. The ultrasound may reveal cysts, fibroids, or other issues contributing to the pain. Based on the appearance of a tissue mass on the ultrasound, a doctor can determine whether a biopsy is necessary.

One common use of ultrasound is to evaluate whether a concerning lump is potentially cancerous and requires a biopsy. Ultrasound can help differentiate between a cyst (a fluid-filled sac) and a solid mass. While cysts are very common in certain areas of the body, such as the breasts and ovaries, a solid mass in these areas is more likely to be cancerous.

A specialized technique called Doppler ultrasound is used to measure blood flow in specific blood vessels. This technique uses a physical principle known as the Doppler effect, which describes how the frequency of waves changes when an object moves past an observer. Doppler ultrasound allows healthcare providers to detect whether blood is stagnating in a particular blood vessel. The experience of having a Doppler ultrasound is no different from any other type of ultrasound.

In some cases, both a Doppler ultrasound and a regular ultrasound are performed simultaneously. This is known as a duplex ultrasound, which allows doctors to assess blood flow and structural images of tissues in the same procedure.

Ultrasounds are also very commonly used in pregnancy to assess conditions of both the mother and the baby. This type of Ultrasound is captured in a separate service package.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make the most of the information provided?
Use this information to compare healthcare providers and estimate the price you'll pay (see 'What does the estimated price include?' for more information). We recommend verifying this information directly with your provider.
Do my search results include an exhaustive list of providers that offer the service I'm looking for?
No. Our beta search experience currently includes providers for whom we are able to find prices and verify their accuracy (see 'How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?' below for more information). This means there may be other providers available in your area. We are introducing additional providers on a rolling basis. If you don't see a specific provider listed, check back soon.
Why isn't my insurance plan listed?
We are introducing additional national and regional insurance plans on a rolling basis. If you don't see your insurance plan listed, check back soon.
What if I can't find the service I'm looking for?
Our beta search experience includes a limited set of services, which we are growing all the time. If you can't find what you're looking for,
What does the estimated price include?
Estimated prices include facility fees (charges that cover the overhead costs of running a hospital) and professional fees (charges that cover the costs of services provided by medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or lab technicians).
How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?

Turquoise obtains prices from multiple sources, including provider and insurance published data, as well as historical medical claims.

If you're using insurance...

A price is considered fully verified if it is made available by both the provider and the insurance company, and those prices have low variability. A price is considered partially verified if it is made available by one or the other and can be corroborated by historical medical claims data. Turquoise does not currently publish any rates that don't meet these verification criteria.

If you're not using insurance...

Cash-pay prices can only be retrieved from provider-published data.

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?
To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, use the calculator tool on the cost breakdown page. We recommend first logging into your insurance portal or contacting them directly to retrieve your up-to-date deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and service-specific co-pay or co-insurance information.
I enrolled in a government-sponsored healthcare program. Can I use Turquoise to find prices for care?
You should not use Turquoise Health to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or your state's Medicaid program directly for more information.
