Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month

The Power of Sound, How Ultrasound Sees the Unseen

Ultrasound isn’t flashy… no radiation, no loud machines… but it’s one of the most powerful tools doctors have today. From checking on a beating heart to seeing a growing baby, this month is about appreciating a tool that helps millions.

💡 3 Things to Learn:

• Ultrasound is safe because it uses sound waves, not radiation (FDA).
• It can diagnose conditions in the liver, kidneys, thyroid, heart, and beyond (RadiologyInfo.org).
• For expectant families, prenatal ultrasounds give a first glimpse at growth and can also detect health concerns (CDC).

🌱 3 Ways to Live It:

• Keep your health appointments, especially if your doctor recommends imaging.
• For expectant parents, see ultrasounds as a pathway to peace of mind and stronger prenatal care.
• And finally, take a moment this month to thank ultrasound technologists… they play a vital role in healthcare.

🤝 3 Resources to Share:

• The FDA Ultrasound Page breaks down safety facts.
• RadiologyInfo.org explains ultrasound uses in plain language.
• And the CDC Ultrasound in Pregnancy page covers maternal benefits.
