ULTRASOUND AND DOPPLER ULTRASOUND

Ultrasonography is the imaging of organs and other structures inside the body using high-frequency sound waves.

Ultrasonography is most useful for examining organs and structures that contain fluid. Solid structures, such as bones, and air-filled organs, such as the lungs (since they do not contain much fluid), do not show up well on ultrasound. However, masses and solid formations within fluid-filled organs can be detected. Ultrasonography is used in various fields: examining abdominal organs (abdominal ultrasound), gynecological conditions (gynecological ultrasound), monitoring pregnancy and childbirth (obstetric ultrasound), assessing heart function and structure (echocardiography), examining breast tissue (mammography), and examining blood vessels, the thyroid, testicles, eyes, and other organs and structures...

All types of ultrasound and Doppler examinations, as well as interventional procedures performed under ultrasound guidance, can be conducted at our center. Additionally, real-time (4D) images of the fetus (baby) can be obtained during pregnancy monitoring.
