Ultrasound exams now available at WVU Medicine Outpatient Center in Waynesburg
The WVU Medicine Outpatient Center located on Murtha Drive is now offering general ultrasound exams to diagnose and guide treatment for many medical issues.
Ultrasound (sonography) is an imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to provide images of soft tissue and internal organs without the use of radiation.
WVU Medicine Imaging Services uses the most advanced equipment in the industry to perform 3D and 4D ultrasound imaging, conducting about 20,000 exams a year for a wide range of conditions, including pediatric, breast, high-risk obstetrics, and vascular issues.
WVU Medicine is recognized for the highest level of image quality and patient safety by the American College of Radiology in ultrasound. Our caring, knowledgeable, and experienced technologists are all board- and state-certified experts in their fields.

During an external ultrasound, a small probe called a transducer is placed on the skin along with a gel-like substance. The image from the probe is displayed on a monitor while the scan is performed. Some ultrasounds, like pelvic or vaginal, require a small probe to be inserted into the body. Most ultrasounds last only a few minutes, while others may take about 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the part of the body being examined.
Once the ultrasound is complete, the images will be reviewed by a board-certified radiologist. The ordering doctor will receive an electronic copy of the imaging report and will notify the patient with the results. To communicate easily and securely with their WVU Medicine providers, patients can sign up for our free patient portal, MyWVUChart, by visiting MyWVUChart.com.
