Advantages of Ultrasound Scan:
Ultrasound technology can be used to examine many different parts of the body.
Purpose: Evaluate abdominal and pelvis organs such as the liver, uninary bladder, pancreas, spleen, ovaries, kidneys, intestine, bowel loops, prostate, etc.Uses: Diagnose conditions like liver disease, gallstones, kidney stones, ureters, abdominal pain, monitor pregnancy, assess gynecological conditions, diagnose pelvic pain and evaluate reproductive organs.
Purpose: Monitor the development and health of a fetus during pregnancy. Fetal doppler to monitor fetal heart rate.Uses: Confirm pregnancy, assess fetal growth, detect fetal heart rate, abnormalities and determine the due date.
Purpose: Provide a closer view of the pelvic organs by inserting the ultrasound probe into the vagina.Uses: Evaluate early pregnancy, diagnose gynecological conditions and assess pelvic pain.
Purpose: Measure and visualize blood flow in the veins and arteries.Uses: Detect blood clots, assess blood flow issues and evaluate vascular conditions.
Purpose: Examine muscles, tendons, ligaments, shoulder, knee and ankle joints.Uses: Diagnose injuries, assess inflammation and guide joint injections.
Purpose: Visualize the thyroid gland to identify nodules, cysts or other abnormalities.Uses: Diagnose thyroid disorders, monitor known conditions and guide biopsies.
Purpose: Evaluate a child’s organs and tissues for various conditions. Uses: Assess congenital abnormalities, monitor growth and diagnose pediatric conditions.
Purpose: Specifically designed to assess soft tissues, including muscles, tendons and ligaments. Uses: Diagnose soft tissue injuries, detect inflammation, guide interventions such as injections and evaluate masses or lumps in soft tissues.
Purpose: Examine breast tissue to identify and evaluate abnormalities. Uses: Detect cysts or tumors, differentiate between solid and fluid-filled masses, guide biopsies, monitor known conditions and investigate breast pain or tenderness.
Purpose: Monitor and evaluate ovarian follicle development during the menstrual cycle. Uses: Track ovulation, assess ovarian function, guide fertility treatments, monitor response to medications and detect ovarian abnormalities.
Purpose: To assess blood flow, evaluate scrotal pain and diagnose testicular conditions. Uses: Diagnose varicocele, detect testicular torsion, evaluate testicular tumors and assess Epididymitis and Orchitis.
Purpose: Ultrasound-guided procedures like Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and pleural tapping use real-time imaging to accurately locate and target abnormal tissues or fluid collections for sampling. Uses: FNAC is used to obtain tissue samples for diagnosing tumors or other abnormalities, while pleural tapping is used to remove excess fluid from the pleural space to relieve symptoms and analyze the fluid for diagnostic purposes.
Purpose: Renal Doppler ultrasound is used to assess blood flow in the kidneys and renal arteries. Uses: It is employed to diagnose conditions such as renal artery stenosis, evaluate kidney transplant function and investigate causes of hypertension or unexplained kidney dysfunction.
Purpose:Arterial and Venous Doppler ultrasound is used to evaluate blood flow in the arteries and veins, to detect abnormalities such as clots or venous insufficiency. Uses:To examine arteries (blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood from your heart and lungs to your body) and veins (blood vessels that carry blood from your body back to your heart and lungs to get more oxygen).
Purpose: Carotid Doppler ultrasound is used can disclose a variety of underlying cardiovascular abnormalities Uses: It is employed to evaluate the risk of stroke, diagnose carotid artery disease and monitor patients with a history of cardiovascular events.
Purpose: Fibroscan is used to measure liver stiffness to assess the degree of liver fibrosis or scarring. Uses: It is employed to diagnose and monitor liver conditions such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.
