Health Scans (Ultrasound)
An Ultrasound provides valuable information for diagnosing various conditions and guiding medical procedures, without the use of radiation, making it a safe method. This imaging technique utilizes high-frequency sound waves emitted by a handheld device called an ultrasound probe. These sound waves, though inaudible, bounce off different parts of the body, creating a real-time moving image displayed on a monitor during the scan.
Ultrasound technology is employed across diverse medical specialties to investigate and detect anomalies.
In orthopaedics, musculoskeletal ultrasound aids in assessing muscle tears, nerve issues, and arthritis.
Doppler scans are used in cardiac examinations to estimate blood flow through vessels.
Gynaecology relies on transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate pelvic conditions. Renal ultrasound in urology assists in examining the bladder, kidneys, and prostate for size, shape, and health.
