Ultrasound

What is Ultrasound ?

Ultrasound, also known as sonography is a diagnostic procedure that uses sound waves to form an image of the target area. The image is called a sonogram. It is done to study individual organ abnormalities and pathologies. It is mostly performed on the ovaries, gall bladder, stomach, liver, kidneys, thyroid and other organs. The ultrasound probe is a piezoelectric crystal that emits high ultrasound waves which travel through the body and are reflected at each tissue interface. This does not
use any ionizing radiation, hence is the safest option in pregnancies. This scan can also show the movements of the internal organs, the fetus and even blood flow.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • The area to be scanned is cleaned using sterile protocols.
  • For an external ultrasound, a translucent gel is applied on the skin over the target organ. The translucent gel is also applied over the probe and it is covered. This is done to improve the transmission of the ultrasound waves.
  • For an internal ultrasound, the probe is covered with the gel, and then with a sterile draping and is inserted into the body.
  • The probe is then rubbed over the area in small circular, pressing motions. When the frequencies hit the tissues, an image forms on the connected computer.
  • The patient and the professionals can view the image then and there.

Myelogram

A Myelogram is a diagnostic technique done to detect problems involving the spinal canal. It is done along along with an X-ray, CT, or MRI scan. A contrast dye is used to identify where the defect lies. Vertebral anomalies, spinal root problems, spinal cord problems, neural anomalies, pain involving the lower back, disc irregularities, nerve root problems and more can be diagnosed with the help of a myelogram. .

CT Scan

CT scan or Computed Tomography is a diagnostic procedure that provides real-time imaging. It uses a combination of X-ray and computer technology to provide high-resolution images. It generates a ‘slice’ or cut of a three-dimensional image in a two-dimensional pattern.

Arthrogram

An arthrogram is a diagnostic procedure done specifically for joint pain problems. Hip joint, Shoulder joint, knee joint, elbow joint, pelvic and wrist joint defects can be diagnosed with the help of an arthrogram. With the help of a prior injected dye, the ligaments, tendons and cartilages of these joints can be visualized in the resultant image.
