What is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound imaging, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to create dynamic images of internal organs, tissues, and blood flow. It’s a non-invasive, painless, and radiation-free method that has become a cornerstone of modern diagnostics.
Types of Ultrasound Studies
Studies That Require No Preparation:
- Breast Ultrasound: Evaluates lumps or abnormalities detected during a mammogram.
- Carotid Ultrasound: Assesses blood flow in the carotid arteries for blockages.
- Renal Ultrasound: Examines kidneys for stones, cysts, or tumors.
- Scrotal Ultrasound: Diagnoses testicular pain, inflammation, or masses.
- Thyroid Ultrasound: Evaluates goiters, nodules, or thyroid gland issues.
- Soft Tissue Ultrasound: Detects inflammation, infections, or masses in muscles.
- Venous/Arterial Doppler: Checks for blood clots (DVT) or reduced blood flow in limbs.
Studies That Require Preparation:
- Abdominal Ultrasound: Evaluates liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and abdominal aorta.
- Preparation: Fasting for 6–8 hours before the scan.
- Pelvic/Transvaginal Ultrasound: Assesses reproductive organs for pain, bleeding, or abnormalities.
- Preparation: Full bladder for pelvic scans; no preparation for transvaginal.
- Bladder Ultrasound: Measures urine volume, checks for stones, or evaluates wall thickness.
- Preparation: Full bladder required.
- Fetal Ultrasound: Monitors baby’s growth, anatomy, and development during pregnancy.
- Preparation: No special preparation needed.
Key Applications of Ultrasound
- Pregnancy & Fetal Health:
- Dating Scan: Confirms pregnancy dates and estimates due date (8–14 weeks).
- Anomaly Scan: Detects fetal abnormalities (18–21 weeks).
- 4D Ultrasound: Captures real-time 3D images of your baby, often around 6 months.
- Women’s Health: Diagnoses conditions like PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and cancers.
- Vascular & Organ Health: Evaluates blood flow, detects blockages, and assesses organ function.
- Guided Procedures: Assists in biopsies, fluid aspirations, and other interventional techniques.
