ULTRASOUND
An ultrasound is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the internal structures in the body. The images provide valuable information used to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases. An ultrasound uses no radiation, and is therefore the preferred method for viewing an unborn baby during pregnancy.
All our centres are outfitted with high-grade 4D Diagnostic Ultrasound (Sonography) Systems that provide exceptional imaging results. This imaging equipment utilize advanced technologies and diagnostic tools to expand clinical capabilities to cover a broad range of medical imaging needs including: Studying of unborn babies, Reviewing of abdominal and pelvic organs, Monitoring of the developing babies during pregnancy, Viewing the uterus and ovaries, Diagnosis of gallbladder diseases, Evaluation of blood flow, Guiding a needle for biopsy or tumour treatment, Examination of breast lump, Checking thyroid gland, Detection of genital and prostate problems, Viewing organs, vessels, and tissues without radiation
Doppler Ultrasound
Ultrasounds that use Doppler studies are non-invasive tests that use high-frequency sound waves to estimate the blood flow rate by bouncing the sound waves off of circulating red blood cells
A Doppler ultrasound is used to diagnose conditions including: Blood clots, Poorly functioning valves, Decreased blood circulation, Heart valve defects, A blocked artery and veins, Bulging of blood vessels, Narrowing of blood vessels, Carotid.
Carotid ultrasound uses sound waves to produce pictures of the carotid arteries in the neck which carry blood from the heart to the brain.
Renal
Renal Artery Doppler Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to assess the blood flow into and out of the kidneys. Doppler ultrasounds are used to assess the blood flow of your arteries and veins.
Hepatic
A Hepatic Doppler Ultrasound assesses the blood that flows into the liver through the portal veins and the blood that flows out of the liver through the hepatic veins which empty into the heart.
Obstetrics
Obstetric Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves to detect the blood circulation in the baby, uterus, and placenta.
Transrectal Ultrasound (Prostate)
A transrectal ultrasound scan is an examination of the prostate gland that uses ultrasound to create a video image of and around the prostate gland. These images help in the diagnosis and treatment of tumours, trauma, or infection of the prostate.
A transrectal ultrasound is used to detect: Prostate disorders, Enlarged prostate, Growths on the prostate, Male infertility
3D and 4D Imaging
3D and 4D imaging uses sound waves to create an image of a baby in the womb to give a very detailed view of the unborn baby. 3D imaging creates a 3D image of the baby. 4D images shows moving 3D images of the baby.
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram test, or ECHO, uses sound waves to produce a graphic image of the heart. The test produces images of your heart chambers and vessels. This test is used to assess the pumping ability of the heart muscle. It can also be used to reveal heart defects in unborn babies (fetal echocardiogram).
The images can help them get information about: Blood clots in the heart chambers, Fluid in the sac around the heart, Challenges with the aorta, Problems with the pumping function or relaxing function of the heart, Heart valve problems and pressures in the heart
