Radiology & Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound examinations do not use ionizing radiation (as used in x-rays). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.

Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Conventional ultrasound displays the images in thin, flat sections of the body. Advancements in ultrasound technology include three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound that formats the sound wave data into 3-D images. Four-dimensional (4-D) ultrasound is 3-D ultrasound in motion.

We at National Medical Centre provide the following diagnostic facilities:

Routine ultrasound:

               We provide state of art facility in routine ultrasound for example ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis by highly qualified professionals.

Obstetric ultrasound:

               Obstetric ultrasound revealing the gestational age,fetal congenital anomalies,placental localization,fetal well being,biophysical profile and the amniotic fluid index.

Doppler ultrasound:

               Doppler ultrasound is a special ultrasound technique that evaluates blood flow through a blood vessel, including the body's major arteries and veins in the abdomen, arms, legs and neck.

Color Doppler:

               Color Doppler uses a computer to convert Doppler measurements into an array of colors to visualize the speed and direction of blood flow through a blood vessel.
