An ultrasound typically takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour to complete.
Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
- Duration: Most ultrasound procedures fall within the 30-minute to 1-hour range.
- Comfort: Ultrasounds are generally not uncomfortable.
- Awareness: You are usually awake and alert during the procedure.
- Communication: The technician often discusses what they observe during the scan, but sometimes you might need to wait for your doctor to review the findings with you.
