Exams performed here
A selection of studies performed at Ultrasound First, captured on our own systems. Some of these findings are difficult to see on any other imaging, and some require positioning and patience that most facilities will not take the time for.
Bicuspid aortic valvemoving image
An echocardiogram recorded in real time. This valve opens with two leaflets instead of the usual three.
Deep vein thrombosismoving image
A clot inside a leg vein, filmed as it moves. Exams like this are read the same day with results called straight to your doctor.
Patent foramen ovalemoving image
Color Doppler showing blood crossing an opening between the upper chambers of the heart.
Achilles tendon tear
The gap where the tendon has pulled apart, visible without radiation or a scanner tunnel.
Full thickness rotator cuff tear
A complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon in the shoulder, one of the most common causes of shoulder pain.
Clot along the femoral vein
Thrombus filling the length of a thigh vein, found on a same day venous Doppler exam.
Calf muscle bleed
An intramuscular hematoma in the gastrocnemius, a frequent cause of sudden calf pain after a strain.
Morel-Lavallee lesion
Fluid collecting between tissue layers in the calf after an injury, measured here at 7.7 cm.
Ovarian endometrioma
A cyst on the ovary seen with color Doppler during a pelvic exam.
Twins
Two gestational sacs on an early pregnancy exam.
Normal thyroid
A healthy thyroid gland. Knowing what normal looks like is half of what makes a finding meaningful.
Bladder diverticulum
An outpouching of the bladder wall, caught on a post void image during a pelvic study.
Scrotal varicocele
Enlarged veins imaged standing, a position many facilities will not take the time to scan.
All images and clips were captured on our own equipment and contain no patient information.
Common questions
Do I need a doctor’s order for an ultrasound exam?
Yes, diagnostic exams are performed with an order from your doctor. Orders can be faxed to (314) 931-3130, and we are glad to help coordinate with your physician.
Can you check for blood clots the same day?
Yes. Venous Doppler DVT exams for the upper and lower extremities are available same day with STAT interpretation.
What if I do not see the exam I need listed?
Call us at (314) 782-2034. Our team offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic ultrasound exams and will help you find what you need.
How much do exams cost?
Most exams cost less than $300, far less than hospital and imaging center fees. We accept most major insurance, workers compensation, and self-pay.
