At UMCL, we offer a comprehensive range of ultrasound imaging services for adults. Ultrasound imaging is a modern, safe, and highly informative diagnostic technique that provides detailed visualization of internal organs and tissues.

What is Ultrasound Imaging?

Ultrasound imaging (sonography) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize internal organs and tissues. These sound waves reflect off various structures within the body, and these reflections are then converted into an image displayed on a monitor.

Benefits of Ultrasound Imaging:

• Safety: Ultrasound imaging does not use ionizing radiation (like X-rays or CT scans), making it completely safe for your health.
• Non-Invasive: Ultrasound imaging does not require surgery or the injection of any substances.
• High Accuracy: Ultrasound imaging provides detailed images of internal organs and tissues, allowing for the early detection of various pathologies.
• Speed: The ultrasound imaging procedure typically takes no more than 20-30 minutes.
• Accessibility: Ultrasound imaging is a relatively inexpensive and widely accessible diagnostic method.

When is Ultrasound Imaging Necessary?

Ultrasound imaging may be recommended by a physician to diagnose various medical conditions. Common indications for ultrasound imaging include:

• Abdominal pain.
• Discomfort in the region of internal organs.
• Suspected tumors or other abnormal growths.
• Evaluation of internal organs in chronic diseases.
• Preventive screening.

At UMCL, we perform ultrasound imaging both with a physician's referral and at the patient's request. We always appreciate having a referral from a treating physician, as this helps the ultrasound imaging specialist better understand the clinical picture and specifically target potential pathologies.
