ULTRASOUND

An ultrasound scan is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture real-time images of internal organs, tissues, and blood vessels. It allows doctors to assess conditions without requiring an incision or exposure to radiation. This makes it the preferred choice for pregnancy ultrasounds, including scans during pregnancy, 3-month pregnancy scans, and 2-months pregnant ultrasounds to monitor fetal development.

Ultrasound is widely used for various medical evaluations, such as abdominal ultrasonography, pelvic ultrasound scans, and abdominal sonography to examine internal organs. A liver sonogram helps assess liver health, while vascular exams and carotid artery examinations, including the carotid Doppler test, evaluate blood flow. The ultrasound breast exam aids in breast health assessments, and an anomaly fetal scan (also known as an anomaly scan) provides a detailed check of the baby's development during pregnancy.

In specialized cases, advanced imaging like 4D ultrasound offers enhanced visualization. For those looking into pricing, the pricing for most diagnostic tests including carotid doppler test price may vary based on location and medical facilities.

Preparation for an ultrasound test depends on the organ being examined. For example, a USG scan of the abdomen may require fasting, while a USG pelvis sonography might require a full bladder for better imaging. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions before the procedure and inform them about any prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or herbal supplements you are taking.
