Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is a painless, safe, and radiation-free method to visualize the organs of the human body.

During Ultrasonography examinations, a transducer touches the skin and acts as a radar. It transmits an Ultrasound beam and receives its reflections from the human organs. These reflections are, then, processed by the US system to form an image/section of the human body.

In this way, gallstones, kidney stones, tumors, injuries or inflammations in the solid organs (livers, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, uterus, ovaries, prostate, breast, thyroid, muscles, tendons), may be reliably visualized. Hollow organs containing air (stomach, intestine, lung) on the other hand, are not reliably visualized through Ultrasonography.

Ultrasonography advantages:

• Painless, non-interventional
• Radiation-free, with zero negative effects on the human body
• Reproducible
• Rich in information (B-Mode, Color Doppler, Elastography)
• May reliably guide interventional procedures
