Procedures / Treatments
In ultrasound, a beam of sound at a very high frequency (that cannot be heard) is sent into the body from a small vibrating crystal in a hand-held scanner head. When the beam meets a surface between tissues of different density, echoes of the sound beam are sent back into the scanner head. The time between sending the sound and receiving the echo back is fed into a computer, which in turn creates an image that is projected on a television screen. Ultrasound is a very safe type of imaging; this is why it is so widely used during pregnancy. What to expect? After lying down, the area to be examined will be exposed. Generally a contact gel will be used between the scanner head and skin. The scanner head is then pressed against your skin and moved around and over the area to be examined. At the same time the internal images will appear onto a screen

Obstetric ultrasound is an essential diagnostic tool in pregnancy. The antenatal detection of medical problems in pregnancy and with the baby is very important. Early detection enables identified problems to be managed and, in some cases, antenatal treatment can be instituted. Common concerns that can be detected or predicted include chromosomal abnormalities, a small baby, pre-eclampsia and structural problems with the baby. It is reassuring for parents when a scan shows that their baby that is developing normally. Scanning helps with pregnancy bonding, and this cannot be emphasised enough. Read more here

Ultrasound is used to assess the structure of internal organs as they function (‘real time’ imaging). It is often one of the first types of diagnostic imaging used as it is safe and can be used to assess many body parts. Ultrasound is used to examine many parts of the body such as the abdomen, breasts, kidneys, prostate, scrotum, thyroid gland, and assess blood flow through the vascular system. Read more here

An ultrasound-guided cortisone injection is a minimally invasive procedure used to relieve pain and inflammation in joints or soft tissues. Using real-time ultrasound imaging, a Radiologist precisely targets the affected area to inject a corticosteroid medication. This technique enhances accuracy, minimizes discomfort, and improves the effectiveness of the treatment, making it a popular choice for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis. The procedure typically takes a short time and may provide significant relief, allowing for better mobility and function.
