Ultrasounds (USG)
We have Doppler Ultrasounds
Ultrasound, also known as ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to obtain real-time images of the inside of the body. This tool has become an essential pillar in modern medicine, providing valuable information for the diagnosis and monitoring of various medical conditions.
What is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of internal structures in the body. These sound waves bounce off the body's tissues and organs, and the resulting echoes are translated into real-time images.
Applications in Medicine
1. Pregnancy Monitoring
Obstetric ultrasound is a fundamental tool in monitoring fetal development during pregnancy. It allows doctors to visualize the fetus, determine gestational age and detect possible abnormalities.
3. Thyroid Studies
Thyroid ultrasound can evaluate the thyroid gland and detect nodules, cysts, and other abnormalities. It is essential in the diagnosis and monitoring of thyroid diseases.
2. Evaluation of Internal Organs
Abdominal ultrasound is used to examine internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and gallbladder. Helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of liver, kidney and gastrointestinal conditions.
4. Soft Tissue and Muscle Studies
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is valuable in the evaluation of muscles, tendons, and soft tissues. Helps in the diagnosis of sports injuries, muscle tears and joint conditions.
5. Cardiovascular Studies (Echocardiography)
Echocardiography allows us to evaluate the structure and function of the heart. Provides essential information about heart health, including detection of heart abnormalities and evaluation of valve function.
Key Benefits
Ultrasound offers a series of benefits in medicine:
-
Security: It does not use ionizing radiation, making it safe for pregnant women and children.
-
Real time:It provides real-time images, allowing dynamic evaluation of structures.
-
Non-Invasive:It is a non-invasive procedure that does not require incisions or injections.
-
Wide Availability.
Ultrasound is widely available in hospitals and clinics, making it easy to access for a variety of patients.
