Best Ultrasound Scan (Sonography) Hospital in Namakkal

Ultrasound, which is also sometimes called a sonogram, is a method of scan that uses sound waves to produce images of structures within your body. Our ultrasound facility helps doctors to diagnose a variety of diseases and conditions.

Usage of Ultrasound Scan:

The majority of people connect ultrasounds with pregnancy. This is due to the fact that these scans might give a pregnant woman the first glimpse of her unborn kid. The test, however, has a wide range of different applications. But usually, they are known for,
  • Monitoring the uterus and ovaries during pregnancy 
  • Monitoring the developing baby’s health
  • Diagnosing gallbladder disease
  • Evaluation of blood flow
  • Guiding a needle for biopsy or tumour treatment
  • Examination of a breast lump
  • Checking the thyroid gland
  • Diagnosing genital and prostate problems
  • Assessing joint inflammation, known as synovitis
  • Diagnosing metabolic bone disease.

Types of Ultrasound Scans:

Ultrasounds are usually differentiated based on how they’ve used and the kind of body part they are used to examine.
  • External Ultrasound: This scan is most generally used to scan and monitor the heart, pregnancy, liver, kidneys, and other organs in your stomach and pelvis region. 
  • Internal ultrasound: There are many types of internal ultrasound, such as a transesophageal echocardiogram, Transrectal ultrasound, and transvaginal ultrasound.
  • Endoscopic ultrasound: This scan is usually done with an endoscope, which is inserted into your body, usually through the mouth and it’s used to examine areas such as your stomach or your food pipe.

Preparation Before An Ultrasound Scan:

You will have to prepare for your scan based on your condition and the kind of scan you are going to receive.
  • For a gallbladder scan, your doctor might request to not eat and drink for a certain period.
  • For a pelvic ultrasound, you might be requested to drink water until your bladder is full and not urinate until the procedure is done.
  • Children might require additional preparation.
