Ultrasound Types & How They Differ

Understanding Your Ultrasound Options

At Array Medical Imaging, we know that choosing the right type of ultrasound can feel confusing — especially if you’re not sure which one you need.
Our goal is to make it simple, clear, and comfortable from the start.

We offer several types of ultrasounds, each designed for a different purpose.
Whether you’re checking on your health, following up on a medical concern, or bonding with your baby, this quick guide will help you understand the difference between our Screening, Diagnostic, and 3D/4D ultrasounds.

Every exam at AMI uses safe, non-invasive sound waves to create real-time images — no radiation, no downtime, just clarity and care.
