Ultrasound Imaging

What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of internal body structures. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound uses no ionizing radiation, making it particularly suitable for pregnant women, children, and patients requiring repeated imaging.

Ultrasound Services We Offer

General Ultrasound: Comprehensive imaging of abdomen, liver, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen for evaluation of various conditions.

Obstetric Scans: First trimester dating scan, second trimester anatomy scan, and third trimester growth assessment with detailed fetal evaluation.

3D/4D Pregnancy Scans: Advanced imaging technology providing expecting parents with beautiful 3D and 4D images of their baby for bonding and detailed anatomical assessment.

FNAC and biopsy: FNAC and biopsies are minimally invasive image-guided procedures (using ultrasound/CT) to collect cells/tissue for diagnosing lumps (thyroid, breast, lymph nodes, etc.), while interventional procedures extend this to treatment, like drainage of collections, all done under local anesthesia for quick recovery, replacing more invasive surgery.

Doppler Studies: Vascular imaging assessing blood flow in arteries and veins for detection of clots, plaques, and circulatory disorders.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Real-time imaging of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints for evaluation of sports injuries and orthopedic conditions.

What to Expect During Your Ultrasound

• You will lie comfortably on an examination table
• A clear gel is applied to your skin for better sound wave transmission
• A small device called a transducer is moved over the area
• You will see images appear on the monitor
• Procedure is painless and typically takes 15-30 minutes
• Results available within 24-48 hours

Preparation Guidelines

• Wear comfortable clothing for easy access to examination area
• Bring your insurance card and ID
• For abdominal scans, avoid food for 6 hours prior
• For pelvic scans, arrive with a full bladder
• For pregnancy scans, no special preparation needed
• Arrive 15 minutes early for check-in

Advanced 3D/4D Technology

Our premium ultrasound systems feature advanced 3D and 4D imaging technology that creates lifelike images of your baby. These stunning images provide excellent detail for both medical diagnosis and creating lasting memories for expecting parents. 3D/4D scans are particularly valuable for detailed fetal anatomy assessment and can help identify potential concerns early in pregnancy.

Doppler Imaging Advantages

Doppler ultrasound measures blood flow within vessels, allowing our specialists to assess blood circulation, detect blockages, and evaluate cardiac function. This is particularly valuable for patients with vascular concerns or at risk for clots.
