Ultrasound

Diagnostic Ultrasounds Offered at JTS Medical Centre

Ultrasound is also called sonography or diagnostic ultrasound, or diagnostic medical sonography. It is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within your body. Ultrasonography is one of the most versatile medical imaging techniques. In addition, since it is painless and does not use any ionizing radiation, it’s highly safe for both patients and practitioners.

The Radiologist places the probe (transducer) on the indicated area of your body to send sound waves through your body to create a live image on the screen. The ultrasound images can provide valuable information for diagnosing and treating various diseases and conditions.

Sonograms don’t use any radiation, making it safe for you and your baby while pregnant.

Also, Ultrasound (USG) is often used to evaluate various conditions and can help diagnose abdominal pain and swelling, thyroid problems, cancer, gallbladder disease, and many more.
