Private ultrasound London
Ultrasound scans, also called sonography, uses sound waves to develop ultrasound images of what’s going on inside the body such as the stomach, liver, heart, tendons, muscles, joints and blood vessels. An instrument called a transducer emits high-frequency sound, inaudible to human ears, and then records the echoes as the sound waves which bounce back to determine the size, shape, and consistency of soft tissues and organs. This information is relayed in real time to produce images on a computer screen. Then a radiologist, radiographer or your doctor will interpret the ultrasound images. This technology can help diagnose and treat many conditions. Regency International Clinic London has a state of the art imaging department.BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
WHAT ARE ULTRASOUNDS USED FOR?
• Detecting heart abnormalities (such as an echocardiogram)
• Examining the kidney, bladder and prostate gland to identify abnormalities
• Diagnosing tumours, gallstones and cysts in organs such as the liver and pancreas
• Detecting lumps in the breast
• Diagnosing muscle and tendon tears in musculo-skeletal conditions
• A probe may be placed in the vagina or rectum to get clearer images of women reproductive organs and prostate in men.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ULTRASOUND?
• Painless, non-invasive and does not require needles, injections, or incisions.
• Can visualise movement and function, therefore examining blood vessels and blood flow to different organs
• Patients aren’t exposed to ionizing radiation, making the procedure safer than X-rays and CT scans. In fact, there are no known harmful effects when used and may be repeated as often as necessary
• Ultrasounds are widely accessible and less expensive than other methods.
• Gives a clear image of soft tissues that may not show up well on x-rays
Ultrasound has been used for over 40 years and there no proven risks known to date. The Regency International Clinic Ultrasound Team is committed to ensure your scan is carried out safely and to a high standard.
