Ultrasound Examinations

Ultrasound is a set of high-frequency ultrasound beams that are reflected from the tissue interface as they pass through our body. From the ultrasound beam recovery, imaging is made possible by computerized image processing. It is suitable for painless, harmless, unlimited, and repeatable screening or targeted testing based on clinical indications. Problems connected with internal medicine, surgery, endocrinology, urology, gynecology, the blood vessels, joints, and peripheral nerves can all be diagnosed using an ultrasound examination, and often problems can be revealed even before the appearance of specific complaints, thus it can be used as a screening test.

The patient lies on the examination table once the affected area has been exposed. The affected body part is smeared with gel, then the specialist uses the transducer (probe) to display and record the examined region on the screen. After the examination, the result is discussed and a test finding is made.

HOW SHOULD YOU ARRIVE FOR AN ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION?

Preparations for abdominal and pelvic examinations:

• arrive on an empty stomach (fasting for 6 hours before the test)
• full bladder required (still water may be consumed prior to the examination)

However, most ultrasound examinations do not require prior preparation.

Diabetic patients should indicate their illness when making an appointment so that our staff can provide the most appropriate time.
