Before starting the ultrasound, the entire area to be imaged by the radiologist is covered with transparent ultrasound gel. This gel is a substance that does not have any negative effects on health and only lubricates the area and facilitates the transmission of sound waves. Since it is water-based, it can be easily cleaned with water after the process.
