Our experienced staff and modern equipment guarantee you individual, accurate and safe ultrasound examinations.
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to form an image of the body’s internal structures. The sensor of the ultrasound device emits high-frequency sound waves inside the body. When the waves are reflected from the structures of the body, echoes are created. The reflected echoes form a moving image on the screen of the ultrasound device. Images from the movie are saved in the image archive.
Ultrasound examination is used as the primary breast examination method for women under the age of 35, and as a complementary examination in connection with breast x-ray imaging, i.e. mammography. We also perform procedures under ultrasound guidance, such as sampling, joint injections and shoulder calcification.
Ultrasound imaging is a painless and safe research method. Ultrasonic imaging does not use ionizing radiation, so it does not involve radiation exposure, as in X-rays.

In ultrasound imaging, gel is applied to the skin and the ultrasound sensor is moved on the surface of the skin. The image generated by the device is displayed on the screen of the ultrasound device. The imaging is performed by our radiologist. The scanning typically takes 10 to 15 minutes. The specialist who performed the ultrasound examination will prepare a statement of the results of the imaging.
Before ultrasound imaging, you are usually allowed to eat and drink normally, with the exception of abdominal examinations. Before ultrasound imaging of the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, or entire abdomen, there should be fasting for four hours. In addition, when ultrasound imaging of the abdomen and lower abdomen is performed, the bladder should be full. You can take your regular medications normally before the scan.
Ultrasound examination is used to diagnose various abdominal problems as well as to test testicles and breasts. Ultrasound imaging also examines neck structures such as the thyroid gland and salivary glands. Ultrasound imaging is used to examine injuries and diseases of the joints and tendons. Ultrasound imaging can also examine blood vessels.
If necessary, ultrasound-guided samples can also be taken in connection with ultrasound imaging. The reason for sampling may be known prior to imaging or may become apparent on ultrasound imaging. Sampling is discussed with the customer in advance of sampling.
