A day in the life of an ultrasound technologist is a lot more than “taking pictures.” In this blog, we go behind the scenes into a real workday: how many patients they see, how they move from emergency scans to routine checkups, and how they balance empathy with the pressure to capture every detail correctly. You’ll also read what they secretly wish every patient knew before their appointment—so you can walk in more prepared, more relaxed, and more confident.

Paying out of pocket for an ultrasound can feel confusing—are you just buying pictures, a full medical report, or both? In this blog, we break down exactly what “self-pay” ultrasound means, what’s typically included, what isn’t, and how to compare prices without sacrificing quality. You’ll learn when a private scan makes sense, what kind of results you can expect, and how to walk into your appointment knowing there won’t be any surprise bills later.

Breast ultrasound and mammograms work together, not against each other. In this blog, we explain why ultrasound doesn’t replace a mammogram, when an ultrasound is recommended (like dense breast tissue, a specific lump, or younger patients), and what actually happens during each type of scan so you know exactly what to expect before your appointment.
