ULTRASOUND -WONDERFUL INVESTIGATION

From cancer prevention to prenatal diagnostics: ultrasound examination (sonography) is a painless method for examining the internal organs. This involves displaying images of the body's structures using ultrasound waves.

We offer the following ultrasound examinations:

• Whole abdomen (liver, gall bladder, kidneys, pancreas, urinary bladder, prostate, uterus, ovary etc can be clearly visualised on ultrasound)
• Obstetric (whereby the number, position, development of foetus and its environment etc can be noted. Congenital anomalies may be diagnosed)
• Transvaginal scans
• Transrectal scans
• Ovulation studies

How to prepare for an ultrasound

• For scans of the liver, gall bladder and pancreas (upper abdomen) overnight fasting is required
• For pregnancy up to 3 months and for scans of the uterus, ovaries, kidneys, urinary bladder and prostate, please do not pass urine for 2-3 hours and drink 3-4 glasses of liquids 1 hour before the scan
• For all other scans, no preparation is required
