- Ultrasound
Ultrasound, or sonography, is a technique that uses sound waves to study and treat different areas of the body. Its high frequency sound waves are transmitted to the area of interest and returns echoes that are recorded and captured as images. Ultrasound is non-invasive and does not involve radiation. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body’s internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.Reasons for Ultrasounds;
While people are familiar with prenatal ultrasounds, it can be used on many other parts of the body to diagnose disease or evaluate organs. It can be used to detect kidney stones and tumors, and to evaluate masses in the thyroid.In women, a pelvic or abdominal ultrasound is most often performed to evaluate the:- Bladder
- Ovaries
- Uterus
- Fallopian tubes
In men, they may be used to evaluate:
- A mass in the scrotum felt by the patient or doctor
- Trauma to the scrotal area
- Testicular pain or swelling
- X-ray
An X-ray is a painless medical test that makes images of bone and tissue, including solid organs like the lungs. X-rays pass through your body to a medium, such as film or digital X-ray sensor, and make an image called a radiograph, which is much like a photograph. X-rays allow doctors to see and diagnose medical conditions and disorders, such as bone fractures and tumors. Dense tissue, like bones and organs, allow less radiation to pass through and appear white or almost white while showing damage like fractures and tumors in great detail. X-rays pass right through soft tissue, like muscle, and make hardly any image. Or just a vague outline or shadow. - Computer Tomography (CT) Scans
Computer tomography (CT) scans create highly detailed, cross-sectional images, or slices, of internal organs, bones, soft tissue and blood vessels.
