Ultra sound diagnostics

The ultrasound method is based on the fact that different tissues carry and reflect the ultrasound in different ways (sound waves with frequency of more than 20 kHz). The ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasound and perceives the reflected signal, which is displayed on the screen after being processed. Based on these data, the doctor gives characteristic to the condition of internal organs.

And though the ultrasound is relatively young diagnostic method (it is used in medicine for about 60 years), it is widely used in gynecology, urology, obstetrics, gastroenterology, endocrinology, nephrology, mammology and other fields of medicine.

The ultrasound scan is performed for detecting the condition and position of virtually all internal organs.

The ultrasound scan is most often performed for examining:

• vessels of upper and lower extremities (Doppler ultrasonography), required for detecting the varicose veins, arterial stenosis, atherosclerosis and blood clots;
• vessels of the head and neck (Doppler ultrasonography), allowing assessing the blood flow of arteries and veins, supplying blood to the brain;
• ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram), ordered for diagnosing the cardio-vascular diseases and detecting blood clots, heart defects and cholesterol plaques;
• organs of the abdominal cavity, including the diagnostics of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts, spleen. It is performed for detecting tumors, cysts, polyps, cirrhosis, hepatitis, inflammatory diseases (cholecystitis, pancreatitis), abscess and internal bleedings;
• thyroid gland for diagnosing the diffuse increase, formation of nodules and tumors;
• mammary glands for detecting the mastopathy, mastitis, cysts and tumors;
• prostate and bladder for detecting the benign prostatic hyperplasia, urine flow disorders, prostatitis;
• kidneys and bladder for presence of stones, tumors, cysts, nephritis, inflammations, urine flow disorders etc.;
• prostate, seminal vesicles, spermatic cords and testicles for diagnosing the benign prostatic hyperplasia, vesiculitis, inflammations and tumors of the testicles and epididymis, varicocele, hydrocele and cryptorchism. 

The Diagnostic Department of the clinic uses the universal diagnostic complex Toshiba Nemio XG, which allows performing all above-listed types of examinations. The diagnosticians of Oxford Medical clinic are highly qualified and completed special training in order to use all capacities of this diagnostic complex. The respective certificates prove their professionalism in establishing the correct diagnosis.

The ultrasound results are interpreted by an ultrasound doctor. During the study, he immediately notes key parameters, such as the location, size, shape of the organs, etc. After that, he carefully evaluates the data obtained and writes a conclusion based on them.

It is worth remembering that the ultrasound doctor does not make a diagnosis. He describes the condition of the internal organs and/or soft tissues. Some changes may be detected in various diseases. Only a doctor can correctly determine the cause of the malaise, assessing the general condition of the patient, the results of the ultrasound and, if necessary, other examinations.
