  1. Ultrasound Scan - A Detailed Overview

  2. Introduction: • Ultrasound scan, also known as sonography, is a diagnostic imaging test that uses sound waves to create images of the internal structures of the body • The test is non-invasive, painless, and does not use ionizing radiation • Ultrasound scan is widely used in medical practice for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of various conditions

  3. How Ultrasound Scan Works: • Ultrasound scanner is a handheld device that emits high-frequency sound waves, which bounce off the body tissues and are detected by the scanner • The sound waves are processed by a computer program and converted into real-time images that can be viewed on a computer screen • Ultrasound scan can create images of the internal structures of the body in different planes, including cross-sectional, sagittal, and coronal planes

  4. Uses of Ultrasound Scan: • Ultrasound scan can be used to diagnose and monitor many different conditions, including pregnancy, abdominal and pelvic disorders, heart disease, and vascular disease • Ultrasound scan can detect tumors, cysts, gallstones, kidney stones, and other abnormalities in the body • Ultrasound scan can also be used to guide minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies, needle aspirations, and catheter placements

  5. Risks and Precautions: • Ultrasound scan is generally considered safe and does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation • However, there may be some risks associated with the use of ultrasound contrast agents, which are sometimes used to enhance the images • Patients should inform their doctor if they have any allergies or kidney problems, as the contrast dye used in some ultrasound scans can cause an allergic reaction or damage the kidneys
