Ultrasound diagnostics

In our medical center, new equipment has been installed, and highly qualified specialists are working.

Thanks to this, almost all types of ultrasound diagnostics are performed in the ultrasound diagnostics room:

• Pregnancy ultrasound – allows confirming pregnancy and determining its duration, monitoring fetal development at various stages, and finding out its sex;
• Abdominal organ ultrasound – includes examination of the pancreas, liver, spleen, gallbladder, and bile ducts, and allows detecting tumors, inflammatory diseases, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other pathologies;
• Ultrasound of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space – in addition to examining the abdominal organs, includes assessment of the kidneys and bladder, helping to identify diseases of these organs;
• Breast ultrasound in women – used for detecting mastopathy, mastitis, cysts, tumors, and other pathologies;
• Breast ultrasound in men – prescribed in case of suspicion of gynecomastia or tumor development;
• Pelvic organ ultrasound in women (vaginal/abdominal access) – includes a wide range of diagnostics;
• Pelvic organ ultrasound in men – involves examination of the bladder, prostate, and helps diagnose prostatitis and other male diseases;
• Folliculometry – performed to monitor the development of follicles in the ovaries;
• Cervicommetry – allows measuring the length of the cervix, which is significant for assessing the risk of premature birth;
• Thyroid ultrasound – allows evaluating the size and structure of the organ, diagnosing cysts and other tumors;
• Kidney and adrenal ultrasound – prescribed for diagnosing diseases and assessing treatment effectiveness;
• Bladder ultrasound – helps detect urolithiasis and other pathologies of the organ;
• Kidney and bladder ultrasound – prescribed in case of suspected diseases of the urinary system, as well as for evaluating the effectiveness of therapy;
• Prostate and bladder ultrasound with residual urine measurement – performed for men to diagnose diseases of the urogenital system;
• Scrotum and testicle ultrasound – performed for men in the presence of symptoms of diseases of these organs;
• Prostate ultrasound (rectal/abdominal access) – allows assessing the condition of the prostate, detecting hyperplasia and other pathologies;
• Ultrasound of lymph nodes in various locations – allows evaluating the size and structure of lymph nodes and detecting changes characteristic of inflammatory processes and oncological diseases;
• Joint ultrasound of the upper or lower limbs (paired) – allows diagnosing inflammatory and degenerative diseases, as well as injuries due to trauma;

Ultrasound diagnostics (US) is a modern examination method widely used in various fields of medicine.

Its main advantages are:

• High informativeness – the ability to quickly obtain accurate information about the condition of internal organs and soft tissues;
• Non-invasiveness and painlessness – the examination causes no discomfort and takes little time;
• Safety – ultrasound waves do not have a negative impact, allowing examinations to be conducted even on children and pregnant women;
• Affordability – ultrasound diagnostic types have a low cost, making them accessible to all patients in the ultrasound room.

The preparation for ultrasound diagnostics varies depending on the organs to be examined. In particular, it is necessary to refrain from eating and to arrive fasting at the ultrasound diagnostic center if an examination of the stomach, pancreas, liver, spleen, gallbladder, and its ducts is planned.

Before the examination of the bladder, it may be recommended to drink several glasses of water. Breast diagnostics and pelvic organ examinations in women may be scheduled for a specific day of the menstrual cycle.

For ultrasound examinations of soft tissues, blood vessels, the thyroid gland, heart, kidneys, adrenal glands, prostate, lungs, salivary glands, and some other organs, no preparation is needed.
