Overview
Medwin Medical Centre is proud to offer ultrasound services to our patients. Ultrasound is a type of imaging that uses sound waves to create pictures of the inside of the body. It is used to look at many different parts of the body, including the heart, blood vessels, tendons, muscles, joints, and internal organs. Ultrasound is safe and does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).
Ultrasound is often used to help diagnose problems such as:
- Abdominal pain
- Gallstones
- Kidney stones
- Liver problems
- Pancreas problems
- Thyroid problems
- Breast problems
- Pregnancy
Ultrasound can also be used to guide procedures such as:
- Biopsies
