The ultrasound scan is a medical non-invasive diagnostic procedure for clinical investigation. An ultrasound machine generates a non-radioactive mechanical sound wave of a higher frequency inaudible to the human ear from a transducer(Probe) made up of piezoelectric crystals. The wave penetrates through various tissues of the human body at different velocities due to the difference in densities of every tissue. As a results, the reflected sound waves(echoes) is received by the probe at different velocities. The difference in velocities is used by a computerized algorithm to generate a corresponding gray scale real time image. A trained sonographer or radiologist interprets the image and reports on the diagnostic findings.
Ultrasound scan do not have any adverse health effects on patients unlike X-Rays which are ionization radiation with well documented adverse effects.
The Department undertake these examinations.
Obstetrics Scan:
Patients can check gestation age, foetal sex determination with 100% accuracy, foetal weight, presentation, liquor and umbilical artery doppler. At 20 weeks of gestation, anomaly scan is done to rule out any gross congenital anomaly.
Gynecological/Pelvic Scan:
Patients can check for fibroids, Polyps, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS), Premature Ovarian Failure(POF), Uterine Adenomyosis, and many gynecological pathologies.
Abdominal Scan:
Liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal, peritoneal, spleen and general abdominal examination.
Urological Scan:
Specifically for prostate, urinary bladder and kidneys.
Small Parts:
Breast, scrotal, thyroid, and superficial organs.
