Our Services
Ultrasound
At A’Care Medical Imaging, we provide high-quality ultrasound services to help diagnose a wide range of medical conditions. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of the body’s internal structures, including organs, tissues, and blood flow.
Whether it’s for abdominal, pelvic, vascular, musculoskeletal, or obstetric evaluations, we ensure a comfortable and efficient experience for every patient.
Abdominal Ultrasound
An abdominal ultrasound is commonly used to assess abdominal pain, swelling, or abnormal liver function, providing detailed images to help detect gallstones, kidney stones, or other abnormalities. It is a safe procedure that does not use radiation, making it suitable for all age groups, including pregnant women. The test is quick and performed under healthcare provider’s supervision, with results available shortly after the examination.
Pelvic Ultrasound
A pelvic ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the organs and structures within the pelvic area, such as the uterus, ovaries, bladder, and prostate. It is commonly used to evaluate symptoms like pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or issues related to fertility and pregnancy.
This test helps diagnose conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, tumors, or other abnormalities, and is a safe and painless procedure with no exposure to radiation.
Renal Ultrasound
A renal ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create images of the kidneys and surrounding structures, such as the ureters and bladder. It is commonly used to assess kidney size, shape, and position, and to detect abnormalities like kidney stones, cysts, tumors, or signs of infection. This procedure helps evaluate kidney function, monitor existing kidney conditions, or guide certain medical procedures. Renal ultrasounds are safe, painless, and do not involve radiation, making them suitable for patients of all ages, including pregnant women.
Dating ultrasound+ Nuchal scan (7 to 16 weeks of pregnancy)
A dating ultrasound, typically performed between 7 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, is used to confirm the gestational age, determine the expected due date, and check for the presence of a fetal heartbeat. This scan also helps assess the number of embryos and their development at an early stage. A nuchal translucency (NT) scan, conducted between 11 and 14 weeks, is for checking the chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome. Combined with a blood test, the NT scan helps provide an early assessment of the baby’s risk for genetic conditions. Both scans are non-invasive and are part of routine prenatal care.
Morphology Scan (18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy)
A morphology scan, also known as an anatomy scan, is performed between 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy to provide a detailed examination of the baby’s development. This ultrasound checks the baby’s anatomy, including the brain, heart, spine, limbs, and major organs, to identify any structural abnormalities or birth defects. The scan also assesses the position of the placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid, and the growth and overall health of the baby. The morphology scan is a standard part of prenatal care, offering reassurance about the baby’s development and helping guide further medical care if needed.
Vascular Ultrasound scans
Renal Arteries Ultrasound is a non-invasive test used to visualize the blood flow in the arteries that supply the kidneys. It helps detect conditions such as renal artery stenosis, which can cause high blood pressure or reduced kidney function.
Lower Limb Arteries Ultrasound (Peripheral Arterial Doppler) evaluates the blood flow in the arteries of the legs to diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) or blockages that may cause pain, cramping, or ulcers.
Abdominal Aorta Ultrasound examines the largest artery in the body, the abdominal aorta, to screen for aneurysms (bulges) or blockages. It is typically performed to assess the size, shape, and condition of the aorta. DVT ultrasounds identify blood clots in deep veins to prevent complications, and carotid artery ultrasounds detect blockages that could lead to strokes. Vascular ultrasounds assess blood flow in arteries and veins, while small parts ultrasounds focus on smaller structures like lymph nodes and glands.
Musculoskeletal/breast/small parts scan
Ultrasound scans are versatile, non-invasive imaging techniques used to assess various body structures. Musculoskeletal ultrasounds evaluate injuries in muscles, tendons, and joints, while thyroid and breast ultrasounds detect abnormalities like nodules, cysts, or tumors. These scans provide detailed, real-time images, supporting accurate diagnosis and safe treatment across a wide range of conditions.
