Pediatric Ultrasound Exams

Pediatric ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to examine infants, children, and adolescents. It is commonly used to assess abdominal organs, musculoskeletal abnormalities, and sports-related injuries. One of the key advantages of pediatric ultrasound is its safety and ability to provide valuable diagnostic information quickly. It is cost-effective, readily available, and can help guide the management of injuries by providing real-time visualization.

By providing detailed imaging of soft tissue structures, ultrasound helps healthcare professionals make accurate diagnoses and develop individualized treatment plans to support the young athlete’s recovery and return to activity.

Vascular Ultrasound Exams

Vascular ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to evaluate blood flow in arteries and veins. It combines traditional ultrasound imaging with Doppler ultrasound technology. During the examination, a transducer emits high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images that healthcare professionals use to assess blood flow, detect blockages or narrowing in the vessels, and guide treatment decisions. Vascular ultrasound is used to diagnose conditions such as DVT, PAD, carotid artery disease, and aneurysms. It is safe, well-tolerated by patients, and does not require radiation or invasive procedures.

Vascular ultrasound plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of vascular disorders, contributing to better patient outcomes and improved vascular health.

Small Parts Ultrasound Exams

Small parts ultrasound is an imaging technique used to examine structures outside of the abdomen and pelvis. It evaluates thyroid nodules, breast lumps, testicular abnormalities, and soft tissue masses and is non-invasive, well-tolerated, and efficient.

During the procedure, a transducer is placed on the skin to assess the size, shape, texture, and vascularity of the structures. It is valuable for detecting abnormalities, guiding biopsies, and monitoring conditions, contributing to improved patient care.

General Abdominal Ultrasound Exams

General ultrasound is generally a safe, painless, and quick medical imaging technique used to visualize internal organs, tissues, and blood flow.

It helps healthcare professionals evaluate the size, shape, texture, and function of organs, guide procedures, and diagnose and monitor medical conditions such as liver disease, gallstones, pancreatitis, kidney stones, and abdominal masses, as well as gynecological and obstetric evaluations, and vascular abnormalities including abdominal aortic aneurysms.
