A precise look into your health
Ultrasound diagnostics is a non-invasive medical method that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the interior of the body. This technology allows doctors to visualize organs, tissues, blood vessels, and blood flow in real-time, providing crucial information for the diagnosis and monitoring of various conditions and diseases.
How does ultrasound work?
An ultrasound device (transducer) emits sound waves that pass through the body and reflect (echo) off tissues. The echo returns to the device, which converts it into images displayed on a monitor. Since different tissues and structures reflect sound waves in various ways, it is possible to obtain clear and detailed images of the body’s interior.
Advantages of ultrasound diagnostics:
- Safety: It does not use ionizing radiation, making it safe for pregnant women and people of all ages.
- Speed and efficiency: Allows for quick diagnosis without the need for invasive procedures.
- Dynamic display: Shows the function of organs and movement of structures in real-time, allowing for detailed analysis.
- Accessibility: It is relatively cheaper compared to other imaging diagnostics like CT and MRI.
Ultrasound diagnostics is a key tool in modern medicine, providing valuable insights into the condition and function of internal organs and structures.
Ultrasound exams at our clinic: your concern, our specialty
At our clinic, we offer a wide range of ultrasound exams performed by experienced radiology specialists, so it is advisable to book most ultrasound exams in advance, ideally a few days before the desired appointment. Our team will inform you in detail about all the necessary preparation steps when scheduling.
This ensures optimal organization and guarantees that each patient receives the attention and care they deserve.
Ultrasound exams we offer:
- Abdominal ultrasound: Allows a thorough examination of the abdominal organs, including the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys. This exam is crucial for detecting conditions such as gallstones, liver abnormalities, and changes in the spleen and kidneys.
- Thyroid ultrasound: Used to assess the size, shape, and structure of the thyroid gland. It helps in detecting nodules, cysts, and other changes that may indicate thyroid disorders.
- Breast ultrasound: A non-invasive method used to visualize the interior of the breasts. It is especially useful for examining suspicious changes detected during physical examination or mammography, such as cysts or tumors.
- Vascular ultrasound – CD of veins and arteries: Color Doppler ultrasound of blood vessels allows the assessment of blood flow through veins and arteries. This technique is essential for diagnosing conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, arterial stenosis, and aneurysms.
- Musculoskeletal ultrasound: Used to assess muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This exam is ideal for diagnosing and monitoring the recovery of tendon ruptures, inflammations, injuries, and other musculoskeletal problems.
How to prepare for an ultrasound exam?
Preparation for an ultrasound exam varies depending on the type of exam. For example, for an abdominal ultrasound, you may need to fast for several hours before the exam, while no special preparation is needed for a vascular ultrasound. Our team will inform you in detail about all the necessary preparation steps when scheduling.
