Ultrasound is a non-invasive and completely painless procedure. It is performed in the supine position. A small amount of gel is applied to the abdominal cavity, which improves the penetration of ultrasound rays. Using a sensor connected to the monitor screen, the doctor sequentially examines all the organs of the abdominal cavity. He assesses their location, shape, size, structure and other features. The results are recorded on a special form.
The duration of the ultrasound is about 15-20 minutes. After that, the specialist writes out a conclusion and refers the patient to a gastroenterologist, therapist or other doctor for a diagnosis taking into account the entire clinical picture.
At Oxford Medical, ultrasound of the ENT is performed on the Toshiba Nemio XG device - this is the latest premium ultrasound system with digital beam formation. It provides maximum image accuracy and helps the doctor make the correct diagnosis.
