Abdominal Ultrasound
This painless, non-invasive procedure uses sound waves to generate images of the abdominal cavity. As a result, it helps detect conditions such as abdominal pain, swelling, and liver function abnormalities, identifying issues like gallstones, kidney stones, or tumors. Safe for all ages, including pregnant women, it involves no radiation and provides quick results.
Pelvic Ultrasound
A non-invasive imaging test that examines the organs within the pelvic area, including the uterus, ovaries, and prostate. Specifically, this procedure diagnoses conditions such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, and fertility issues. Additionally, the procedure is painless, free from radiation, and effective for identifying ovarian cysts or fibroids.
Renal Ultrasound
Using sound waves, this imaging technique evaluates the kidneys and nearby structures, such as the ureters and bladder. As a result, it helps diagnose kidney stones, cysts, infections, and tumors. Moreover, the safe, non-invasive procedure is pain-free and assists in assessing kidney function and guiding medical treatment, all without radiation.
Pregnancy Ultrasound
Including dating and morphology scans, these ultrasounds provide crucial information on fetal development. To begin with, early scans confirm gestational age and due date, while later scans assess growth, organ development, and overall health. Moreover, these safe, non-invasive tests offer reassurance and help detect potential issues, ensuring proper prenatal care.
Vascular Ultrasound
The imaging test evaluates blood flow through arteries and veins, thereby identifying conditions like blood clots, blockages, or aneurysms. In particular, it is used to assess the abdominal aorta, lower limbs, and renal arteries, helping to diagnose conditions such as peripheral artery disease and renal artery stenosis. Additionally, the non-invasive procedure provides valuable insights into vascular health and circulation.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
A real-time, non-invasive imaging technique is used to assess injuries in muscles, tendons, and joints, as well as smaller structures like lymph nodes and glands. As a result, this technique is particularly effective for diagnosing conditions such as sprains, tendonitis, and cysts, therefore providing a foundation for effective treatment planning in musculoskeletal disorders.
