Ultrasonic

An ultrasound is a simple, painless, and safe examination, which is done using ultrasound (high frequency sound waves), without the use of radiation.

It gives us information about the functioning of the body's solid organs and vessels.

The accuracy and quality of the examination depends on:

  • The experience of the examiner (operator-dependent) is very important in the diagnosis. The diagnosis is made at the same time as the examination and the images are those taken by the examiner during the examination depending on the diagnosis;
  • The use of high-resolution multi-crystal machines.

SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS

In addition to routine examinations, ultrasounds of organs and color Doppler (Triplex) of vessels, the following examinations are carried out as well:

  • • Study of solid organs (liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas);
  • • Preoperative vein mapping;
  • • Elastography of organs (thyroid, breast, liver, prostate, and other organs).

INVASIVE EXAMINATIONS

  • Rectal ultrasonography of the prostate using elastography and guided prostate biopsy
  • Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) of thyroid - salivary glands - lymph nodes
  • Thoracic puncture (diagnostic - evacuation)
  • Ascitic collection puncture (diagnostic - evacuation)
  • Guided histological liver biopsy
  • Drainage of intra-abdominal abscesses - collections
