Abdominal Disorders

Ultrasound is used to detect gallstones, as well as abnormalities in the liver, kidney, pancreas and spleen. It is also used to monitor kidney transplant patients.

Blood Vessel Stenosis/Disease

Ultrasound evaluates blood vessels at risk for aneurysm (ballooning) or stenosis (abnormal narrowing).

Pelvic Disorders

Transvaginal ultrasound helps determine the cause of pain or bleeding in women’s reproductive organs. These tests often provide better images than traditional ultrasound and are used in early pregnancies or for pelvic procedures.

Cancer

Ultrasound can locate lumps in organs or tissues, is useful as a guide with needle biopsies, and helps detect prostate cancer or breast cancer while monitoring treatment.

Eye Disorders

The ultrasound transducer is used to detect swelling, bleeding or foreign objects in the eye.

Pregnancy

Ultrasound is used to check the health and development of your baby. It can determine if you are going to have multiple babies, or rule out potential problems in-vitro.
