Ultrasound

 

    Ultrasound is a painless, non-invasive, diagnostic test that produces images without the use of radiation it produce images of organs and soft tissue

    a non-invasive technique that is used to generate real-time images of the body’s internal structures Through a series of high-frequency sound waves,

    ultrasound technology allows for the visualization of fetal development, blood flow, and internal structures, making it effective for both diagnostic

    and pathologic assessment. It is a valuable resource for tracking the health of a patients. Ultrasound is also used to view organs such as the liver,

    uterus, ovaries, thyroid, and aorta. It is also used to help evaluate blood clots or the narrowing of vessels.

 

 

    What to expect?

 

    The examination is performed by specialized technicians (medical imaging technologists) or by a radiologist. It takes place in a room containing a

    bed and an ultrasonic device.

 

          The examination is painless:
