Ultrasound
The Ultrasound system provides high performance scalable imaging for a range of critical applications, such as abdominal, pelvic, cardiac, vascular, OB/GYN, breast, prostate and musculoskeletal.
Common use of Ultrasound:
-
Examination of superficial organs like breast, thyroid and shoulder joints.
-
Analysis of abdominal organs (i.e liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, bladder) and pelvic organs (i.e prostate, uterus and ovaries).
-
To evaluate blood flow and assess for blockage or clots.
-
The health and development of the embryo or fetus.
Preparation for Ultrasound:
-
For upper abdomen ultrasound of liver and gallbladder, 4-6 hrs fasting is required.
-
For Pelvis scan (uterus, ovaries, bladder), a full bladder is required to properly visualize the organs. You may have to drink up to 6 glasses of water and avoid emptying the bladder until the examination is complete.
