Ultrasound is a versatile diagnostic tool, offering insights into organ function, blood flow, and soft tissue health.

Ultrasound: A Gentle Window into Your Body

Ultrasound, a cornerstone of modern medical imaging, offers a safe and painless way to visualize the inner workings of your body. At Medicana Health Group, we harness the power of ultrasound technology to create detailed images of your organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues, providing vital information for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

 

The Science of Sound Waves

Ultrasound utilizes high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear. These waves bounce off different structures within your body, creating echoes that are captured and transformed into real-time images on a monitor. This dynamic visualization enables our expert clinicians to assess the size, shape, and health of various organs and tissues.

 

A Versatile Diagnostic Tool

Ultrasound scans are a versatile and widely used imaging modality with no known harmful effects. They can be used to:

  • Diagnose a variety of medical conditions: from gallstones and kidney stones to pregnancy complications and musculoskeletal injuries.
  • Guide procedures: such as biopsies and joint injections, ensuring accuracy and minimizing risk.
  • Monitor treatment progress: track the effectiveness of therapies and interventions.

FAQs - Ultrasound

General

Yes, ultrasound is considered a very safe imaging modality, as it doesn’t involve any ionizing radiation. It’s even routinely used during pregnancy to monitor fetal development.

Preparation varies depending on the type of scan. You might be asked to fast or drink plenty of water beforehand. Our team will provide you with specific instructions when you book your appointment.

You’ll lie on an examination table while a sonographer applies a warm gel to your skin and moves a transducer (probe) over the area being scanned. The gel helps transmit the sound waves, and the transducer captures the echoes to create images.

No, ultrasound scans are generally painless. You may feel slight pressure from the transducer, but it shouldn’t cause any discomfort.

The duration varies depending on the area being scanned, but most scans take between 15 and 60 minutes.

A radiologist will interpret your scan and prepare a report, which will be shared with you and your referring physician within a few days.

We diagnose conditions related to the abdomen, pregnancy, muscles, and blood vessels.
