Ultrasound
Our state-of-the-art ultrasound scanners are available for imaging and non-invasive monitoring of the abdomen, with sophisticated image fusion capability to aid accurately guided procedures.
Our ultrasound suite provides leading edge technology: a Canon Aplio I 600 – with a unique feature, the I-Beam Architecture and colour doppler systems with lightweight probes. A first of its kind in the GCC, high resolution hockey-stick probe, provides superior quality images of the smallest parts of the body, particularly so, for high resolution image evaluation of the musculoskeletal system (tendons, ligaments and muscles).
How to prepare:
Any preparation required may depend upon which area of your body needs to be examined.
Abdominal examination
Avoid eating and drinking for up to six (6) hours before the test.
Pelvic ultrasound
Drink lots of water and do not urinate before the scan is performed as this allows for better visualisation, particularly, of the uterus, ovaries, or the prostate.
When to avoid or be cautious :
- An ultrasound scan is generally safe with no specific indications requiring avoidance or deserving specific caution.
