Ultrasound Scan at Premium Plastic Surgery Clinic - Budapest

An ultrasound scan, also known as sonography, is a medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside of your body. These images can provide valuable information to diagnose and treat numerous diseases and conditions. The image produced is called a sonogram.  

Ultrasound scans are commonly associated with pregnancy as they are often used to view the uterus and ovaries during pregnancy, providing an expectant mother with the first view of her unborn child. The scans can also be used to monitor the health of the developing baby. However, an ultrasound scan can be used for many reasons, including:

• Assess blood flow

• Diagnose problems with muscles, soft tissues, and blood vessels

• Diagnose gallbladder disease

• Check your thyroid gland, liver, kidneys, and pancreas

• Examine a breast lump

• Evaluate joint inflammation

• Detect prostate and genital problems

• Examine metabolic bone disease

• Investigate a tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, or carpal tunnel syndrome

• Guide surgeons’ movements during certain medical procedures, such as tumor treatment or biopsy.
