Ultrasound (MSK)

Ultrasound

Sonography, or ultrasonography, as it is commonly known, is a non-invasive imaging test. A sonogram is an image obtained via ultrasonography. With ultrasound, medical professionals may "see" the fine features of the soft tissues inside your body without having to make any wounds. Furthermore, ultrasonography doesn't employ radiation like X-rays do (Cleveland Clinic, 2022).

Ultrasound offers a range of diagnostic services to the public, using non-invasive imaging technology to assess various parts of the body. Ultrasound is used to create real-time images of internal organs, tissues, and blood flow. This helps diagnose conditions in areas like the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid, kidneys, liver, and gallbladder.

radiocare offers:

1. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Ultrasound assesses joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, helping in diagnosing sports injuries, arthritis, or other musculoskeletal conditions.

2. Vascular Ultrasound: This service evaluates blood flow and detects conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), blockages, or aneurysms by imaging the blood vessels

3. Breast Ultrasound: Often used as a follow-up to abnormal mammogram findings, ultrasounds detect cysts or solid masses around or in the breast.

4. Guidance for Procedures: Ultrasound guides minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies or drainages.

5. KUB Ultrasound: A KUB sonogram, also known as a kidney, ureter, and bladder ultrasound, is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create images of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.

NOTE: The average waiting time for results is 30 minutes
