Your child lies on an examination table, usually on their back, sometimes on their side. The ultrasound technician, called a sonographer, applies a lubricating gel to the area that is to be examined and then rubs the ultrasound transducer on the lubricated skin. Black and white film images appear on a screen. In most instances, a radiologist will come along to view the images. Ultrasounds take about 45 minutes.
More information is provided in the ultrasound information letter (only in Dutch)
