Ultrasound is a non invasive imaging test that uses high-intensity sound waves to create real-time pictures of inside the body.
Here at Southern Ultrasound Wanaka we can see:
Organs: Ultrasounds can image many organs, including the heart, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and more.
Blood vessels: Ultrasounds can show blood flow through blood vessels.
Muscles, tendons, and joints: Ultrasounds can image these soft tissues.
Fetus: Ultrasounds can show an unborn baby's position, growth, heart rate, and movement. They can also help determine the number of fetuses, the level of amniotic fluid, and the age of the fetus.
Breast tissue: Ultrasounds can help determine if a breast lump is solid or fluid-filled. They can also help guide a needle for a biopsy.
Bones: Bone sonometry ultrasounds can assess bone fragility.
Ocular structures: Ophthalmic ultrasounds can visualize ocular structures.
Nerve pathology: Ultrasound can identify peripheral nerve tumors, traumatic neuromas, lacerations, entrapments, inflammation, demyelinating features, and infections
