Ultrasound
The gold standard of imaging. The Ultrasound procedure is quick, easy, and painless.
Ultrasound is safe and painless. It produces pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves that help physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.
What are some common uses of this procedure?
Abdominal scans are used to investigate abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abnormal sounds, and lumps. Structures to be examined may include the gallbladder, bile ducts, liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and large blood vessels.
Pelvic scans may be performed if a woman is suffering pelvic pain or has abnormal periods, fibroids, cysts, or other conditions associated with the female reproductive system
Pregnancy scans check for fetal abnormalities (such as spina bifida), age, and position of a fetus, and monitor fetal growth and development.
Other uses are bone scans (to check regions like a shoulder, hip, or elbow), breast scans, and a scan of a person's eye (to check its internal structures).
A particular type of ultrasound scan, called a Doppler ultrasound, is used to detect the speed and direction of blood flow in some areas of the body, for example, neck arteries and leg veins.
