Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to visualize organs, tendons, and muscles in real time. Non-invasive and radiation-free, it is ideal for soft-tissue diagnosis and pregnancy monitoring. It is a dynamic examination performed directly by our radiologists.
It allows for real-time visualization of numerous structures (abdomen, soft tissues, thyroid, muscles/tendons, and blood vessels via Doppler, as indicated).
Doppler ultrasound also allows for the assessment of arterial and venous blood flow, which is particularly useful for detecting venous or arterial thrombosis.
There are no major contraindications.
A prescription is required to undergo this test.
- Abdominal ultrasound: Do not eat or drink for about 4 hours before the exam.
- Ultrasound of the kidneys and urinary tract: Make sure your bladder is full during the exam; drink 1 liter of water before the exam.
- Pelvic ultrasound: Make sure your bladder is full.
The radiologist applies a conductive gel to the skin and moves a probe to examine the organs on the screen.
