ULTRASOUND

An ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to create a picture (also known as a sonogram) of organs, tissues, and other structures inside the body. Unlike x-rays, ultrasounds don’t use any radiation. An ultrasound can also show parts of the body in motion, such as a heart beating or blood flowing through blood vessels. 

There are two main categories of ultrasounds: pregnancy ultrasound and diagnostic ultrasound. 

  • Pregnancy ultrasound is used to look at an unborn baby. The test can provide information about a baby’s growth, development, and overall health. 
  • Diagnostic ultrasound is used to view and provide information about other internal parts of the body. These include the heart, blood vessels, liver, bladder, kidneys, and female reproductive organs. 

An ultrasound can be used in different ways, depending on the type of ultrasound and which part of the body is being checked. A pregnancy ultrasound is done to get information about the health of an unborn baby. It may be used to: 

  • Confirm that you are pregnant.
  • Check the size and position of the unborn baby.
  • Check to see you are pregnant with more than one baby.
  • Estimate how long you have been pregnant. This is known as gestational age.
  • Check for signs of Down syndrome, which include thickening in the back of the baby's neck.
  • Check for birth defects in the brain, spinal cord, heart, or other parts of the body.
  • Check the amount of amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid is a clear liquid that surrounds an unborn baby during pregnancy. It protects the baby from outside injury and cold. It also helps promote lung development and bone growth.

Diagnostic ultrasound may be used to: 

  • Find out if blood is flowing at a normal rate and level.
  • See if there is a problem with the structure of your heart.
  • Look for blockages in the gallbladder.
  • Check the thyroid gland for cancer or non-cancerous growths.
  • Check for abnormalities in the abdomen and kidneys.
  • Help guide a biopsy procedure. A biopsy is a procedure that removes a small sample of tissue for testing.

  • PCOD Ultrasound : PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is a medical condition in which the woman ovaries produce immature or partially mature eggs in large numbers and over the time these become cysts in ovaries. Ultrasound diagnosis helps Doctor to observe the ovaries and diagnose the situation. TVS Ultrasound is most common to diagnose PCOD Ultrasound.
  • Lower Abdomen Ultrasound: Ultrasound Lower Abdomen or Pelvis is Ultrasound imaging of the pelvis uses sound waves to produce pictures of the structures and organs in the lower abdomen and pelvis. There are three types of pelvic ultrasound: abdominal, vaginal (for women), and rectal (for men). These exams are frequently used to evaluate the reproductive and urinary systems.
  • Fetal Well Being Ultrasound: Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce pictures of a baby (embryo or fetus) within a pregnant woman, as well as the mother's uterus and ovaries. It does not use ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects, and is the preferred method for monitoring pregnant women and their unborn babies.It is a totally painless and safe procedure. It is useful test to establish the presence of fetus, estimate the age of pregnancy, diagnose congenital abnormalities of the fetus, assess fetal growth and wellbeing etc.
  • TVS Ultrasound: A transvaginal ultrasound, also called an endovaginal ultrasound, is a type of pelvic ultrasound used by doctors to examine female reproductive organs. This includes the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, and vagina. This is an internal examination. Unlike a regular abdominal or pelvic ultrasound, this procedure involves your doctor or a technician inserting an ultrasound probe about 2 or 3 inches into your vaginal canal.
  • KUB Ultrasound: KUB refers to a diagnostic medical imaging technique of the abdomen and stands for Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder, although in fact the Ureters only show if they are abnormally distended. A KUB ultrasound is an examination requested by your doctor to evaluate the urinary tract (which includes the kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder). In the male patient, the prostate gland is also scanned.
  • Colour Doppler Ultrasound: A Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive test that can be used to estimate the blood flow through your blood vessels by bouncing high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) off circulating red blood cells. A regular ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images but can't show blood flow.
