Ultrasound, as an imaging modality, is the procedure of choice for evaluating the abdominal and pelvic organs and for examining soft tissues and organs. It is an important tool for examining the heart. It is particularly suitable for assessing the condition of superficial organs, including the thyroid gland, salivary glands, lymph nodes, muscles, and joints.
Ultrasound—in itself—is a mechanical vibration with a frequency higher than the range of human hearing, which we utilize in ultrasound imaging. These waves are capable of penetrating the human body and its tissues of varying composition. The procedure is based on the fact that ultrasound is reflected differently from the interfaces of biological tissues with varying acoustic impedances. By measuring the time between the emission of the ultrasound and the echo, the distance between the interfaces can be determined. Since the frequency of the ultrasound reflected from moving interfaces varies, functional information can also be obtained by analyzing the echo spectrum. For imaging, we use the reflected sound waves, which are detected by a transducer and converted into numerical data. The ultrasound device assigns points on a gray-scale to these numbers, thus creating the image seen by the examiner: individual organs become visible, as well as the circulatory status within them and, in the case of moving structures, their movement.
Ultrasound, as an imaging tool, is the procedure of first choice for evaluating abdominal and pelvic organs and for examining soft tissue structures and organs. It is an important tool for examining the heart. It is particularly suitable for assessing the condition of organs close to the surface, including the thyroid gland, salivary glands, lymph nodes, muscles, and joints.
Using a special mode, blood circulation and the condition of the vascular system can be assessed.
A safe diagnostic tool for assessing fetal abnormalities or simply for viewing the fetus in utero.
Ultrasound examinations can be performed at any stage of pregnancy. Based on our current knowledge—supported by decades of professional experience—it is a safe diagnostic method that does not harm the living organism.
Before an abdominal or pelvic examination, it is advisable to arrive on an empty stomach and with a full bladder.
The examinations are performed by our experienced specialists using a GE Logiq P9 device that meets all requirements.
