High-Definition Sonography

Ultrasound Scanning
Safe. Precise. Real-time.

Using advanced sound waves to visualize internal organs without radiation. Our Radiology Department is visited by the best consultant Radiologists in the country to ensure accurate diagnosis.

How does it work?

The test uses high-frequency sound waves (not radiation) to detect organs and their functions. During the procedure, a handheld device called a transducer directs a controlled beam of sound waves into the body.

The echoes of these reflected sound waves are captured and processed by a computer to build up a live electronic image of various structures inside the body.

Common Applications

Ultrasound is a versatile diagnostic tool used for:

  • Obstetrics

    Monitoring fetal development and pregnancy health safely.

  • Abdominal Organs

    First-line investigation for liver, kidneys, gallbladder, and pancreas issues.

  • Cardiac Lesions

    Assessing heart structure, blood flow, and valve function.

Safety Profile

Non-Invasive & Radiation-Free

Unlike X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation. This makes it the safest option for monitoring pregnant women and developing fetuses. It causes no discomfort to the patient.

Preparation Guide

Preparation depends on the type of scan. Common requirements include:

  • Abdominal Scan: Fasting for 6 hours (no food/milk). Water is allowed.
  • Pelvic/KUB Scan: Drink plenty of water 1 hour before the exam to ensure a full bladder.
  • Other Scans: Usually no specific preparation required.
