Ultrasound
The ultrasound examination is non-invasive and painless, it does not use ionizing radiation, has no known side effects and provides real-time images which allows the doctor to give immediate feedback to the patient. Despite all of this, it is very accurate and can now be considered a basic examination in diagnostics.
Abdominal ultrasound
- Liver: With its help, abnormal changes in the liver, such as cirrhosis, liver damage or liver tumours, become visible.
- Gallbladder and bile ducts: Gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder and other abnormalities that can cause pain or digestive problems can be detected.
- Pancreas: Inflammatory abnormalities and tumorous changes of the pancreas can be discovered.
- Kidneys: With the help of ultrasound, kidney stones, kidney tumours and other kidney diseases that can affect kidney function become visible.
- Spleen: The procedure can detect the enlargement of the spleen, its damage, possible foci in it.
- Bladder: Stones, tumours or other changes in the bladder that can cause urination problems can be identified through ultrasound.
- Female pelvis: Enables checking the condition of the female reproductive organs, such as the uterus and ovaries, helping to identify cysts, fibroids or other changes.
- Male pelvis: Provides information about the health status of the prostate, seminal vesicles and other nearby structures, helping to detect prostatitis, enlargement or tumours.
- Abdominal lymph nodes: With the help of ultrasound, possible enlargement of the lymph nodes or other abnormalities can be detected, which may indicate inflammation or other diseases.
- Aorta: During the procedure, it is also possible to examine the abdominal aorta, so life-threatening conditions, such as an aortic aneurysm, which means an abnormal expansion of the main artery, can be noticed early.
Cervical ultrasound
- Thyroid gland: It is used to detect the shape, size, structure of the thyroid gland and any knots or nodules in it. It helps detect thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, inflammation, and potentially cancerous changes.
- Neck vessels (carotid and jugular vessels): Neck ultrasound allows us to see the blood vessels in the neck, including arteries and veins. It can be used to identify arteriosclerosis or other circulation problems, such as thrombosis or vasoconstriction.
- Lymph nodes: With the help of cervical ultrasound, possible abnormalities in the size, shape and structure of the lymph nodes can be identified and evaluated, which may be signs of infection, inflammation or cancer.
- Salivary glands: With the help of the examination, it can be determined whether there are inflammatory processes, stones or tumours in the salivary glands.
- Muscle and soft tissue: A soft tissue ultrasound of the neck can detect soft tissue abnormalities, such as cysts, lipomas, or other soft tissue tumours, as well as inflammation or injuries.
Breast ultrasound
With regard to the fact that breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, breast screening is of particular importance. It is a particularly useful procedure in glandular breasts, where mammography is less useful due to the increased tissue density.
Cysts, benign and malignant tumours and inflammatory changes can be identified and separated with very good diagnostic accuracy using ultrasound. During the breast ultrasound, the armpits are always examined, where we mainly get information about the condition of the lymph nodes.
Our experience shows that due to an inadequate educational background, many women do not have sufficient information about the importance of early screening and they only turn to a specialist when they notice a palpable change in the breasts. In glandular breasts, this can mean even a size of several centimetres, in which case the tumour often spreads to the surrounding lymph nodes, which significantly worsens the chances of recovery.
Since the cure rate for breast tumours smaller than 1 centimetre is over 90 percent, and a trained examiner with modern ultrasound machines used today can find even 2-3 mm tumours, thus the importance of screening cannot be emphasized enough!
Extremity colour doppler examination
It is suitable for examining both the venous and arterial system. With its help, the blood supply to the limbs, the condition of the vessel walls, as well as the signs of superficial and deep vein thrombosis can be seen and measured.
It is particularly useful in detecting blood circulation disorders, vasoconstrictions, vascular blockages, varicose veins or thrombosis, which, if not treated, can lead to serious complications.
