Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a non-invasive exam that uses sound waves to produce images of the body. Ultrasound allows the radiologist to make an accurate diagnosis of multiple conditions affecting the body and is especially helpful in visualizing the internal organs such as liver, gallbladder, kidneys, spleen, urinary bladder and reproductive organs. The images produced show their size, structure and any pathological lesions with real-time cross-sectional images. Ultrasound is also used to show a fetus during routine and emergency pregnancy stages. Ultrasound has an important role in vascular assessment such as venous or arterial systems.
