Ultrasound is a safe, accurate, and non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of internal organs and tissues. It does not use ionizing radiation and can be performed repeatedly without risk, making it ideal for diagnosis, monitoring, and image-guided procedures.
Abdominal Ultrasound
Abdominal ultrasound allows detailed evaluation of the main abdominal organs.
Conditions commonly assessed:
- Liver diseases (fatty liver, cysts, tumors)
- Gallstones and gallbladder inflammation
- Pancreatic disorders
- Spleen abnormalities
- Kidney diseases (cysts, stones, hydronephrosis)
- Investigation of unexplained abdominal pain
Urological Ultrasound
Urological ultrasound evaluates the urinary tract and male reproductive organs.
Common indications:
- Kidney and urinary stones
- Complicated urinary tract infections
- Prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia)
- Prostate or bladder tumors
- Testicular conditions (cysts, inflammation, varicocele)
Neck Ultrasound (Thyroid and Soft Tissues)
This examination provides high-resolution imaging of superficial neck structures.
Conditions evaluated:
- Thyroid nodules
- Goiter
- Thyroiditis
- Enlarged cervical lymph nodes
- Neck masses or cysts
Musculoskeletal and Soft Tissue Ultrasound
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is ideal for assessing muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues.
Common pathologies:
- Muscle tears
- Tendinitis and bursitis
- Sports injuries
- Hematomas
- Lipomas and soft tissue cysts
- Inflammatory conditions
Breast Ultrasound
Breast ultrasound is an essential complement to mammography, especially in women with dense breast tissue or at a younger age.
Conditions detected:
- Breast cysts
- Solid nodules
- Fibroadenomas
- Inflammatory processes
- Suspicious lesions requiring follow-up or biopsy
Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA / PAAF)
Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain cellular samples from suspicious lesions with high precision.
Common indications:
- Thyroid nodules
- Suspicious lymph nodes
- Breast nodules
- Soft tissue masses
This technique provides accurate and reliable diagnosis while minimizing discomfort and reducing the need for surgical procedures.
Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injection
Ultrasound-guided joint injection is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure that involves administering medication directly into a joint or surrounding periarticular structures under real-time ultrasound guidance.
The use of ultrasound ensures maximum precision, allowing the medication to be delivered exactly to the affected area, increasing treatment effectiveness and minimizing risks.
Common indications:
- Osteoarthritis
- Arthritis
- Tendinitis and bursitis
- Sports injuries
- Chronic joint pain
- Musculoskeletal inflammation
