High-resolution computed tomography with 32 and 128 slice capability
Ultrasound imaging (also called a sonography or sonogram) uses high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of the inside of the body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound does not use radiation, so there is no radiation exposure. Our advanced systems use Color Doppler technology to safely check organs, blood flow in blood vessels, and monitor pregnancy.
1
For abdominal ultrasound (Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas, Spleen), avoid eating or drinking for 8-12 hours before your appointment.
2
For Pelvic, Bladder, or Pregnancy (First Trimester) ultrasound, drink about 1 liter of water or fluids one hour before the appointment
3
For a renal (Kidney) ultrasound, drink about 4-6 glasses of water an hour before the test
4
Wear comfortable clothes; you may be asked to change into a gown
5
For breast/thyroid ultrasound, no preparations are required
6
Bring your previous reports for comparison
Yes. Ultrasound is safe during pregnancy because it uses sound waves, not radiation. Even doctors commonly use it to check the baby’s growth and development.
Color Doppler ultrasound shows how blood is flowing through blood vessels. It helps doctors check blood circulation in organs and during pregnancy.
A full bladder helps create clearer images, especially for scans of the lower abdomen and pelvic area.
Ultrasound is very helpful, but it cannot detect every condition. Sometimes, other tests may be needed for a complete diagnosis.
