Sonography

Sonography, also known as ultrasound, is a widely used medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. At Khurana Hospital and IVF Centre, we offer advanced sonography services to diagnose and monitor a variety of health conditions. Whether you’re expecting a baby, experiencing unexplained pain, or need a routine check-up, our sonography services provide accurate, real-time insights to help guide your treatment.

What is Sonography?

Sonography is a non-invasive, safe, and effective imaging procedure that uses sound waves to produce detailed images of organs, tissues, and structures inside the body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, sonography does not use radiation, making it a preferred choice for pregnant women and those requiring repeated imaging.

Types of Sonography We Offer

At Khurana Hospital and IVF Centre, we offer several types of sonography to help diagnose and monitor various health conditions. Some of the most common types include:

• Abdominal Sonography:

  • This type of ultrasound is used to examine the organs in the abdomen, including the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen. It’s commonly used to detect conditions such as tumors, cysts, and kidney stones.

• Obstetric Sonography:

  • Often used during pregnancy, obstetric sonography helps monitor the development and health of the fetus. It’s an essential tool for tracking the baby’s growth, checking for potential complications, and ensuring a healthy pregnancy.

• Pelvic Sonography:

  • This ultrasound is used to examine the reproductive organs in women, including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It helps in the diagnosis of conditions like fibroids, ovarian cysts, and other gynecological disorders.

• Transvaginal Sonography:

  • For a more detailed view of the uterus and ovaries, a transvaginal ultrasound is performed, particularly for early pregnancy assessments or when other pelvic issues need close examination.

• Renal Sonography:

  • Renal sonography is focused on examining the kidneys and bladder, helping to detect issues such as kidney stones, tumors, or urinary tract infections.

• Cardiac Sonography (Echocardiography):

  • This ultrasound is used to examine the heart’s structure and function. It helps diagnose heart conditions such as valve problems, heart disease, and abnormalities in heart function.

• Musculoskeletal Sonography:

  • Used to examine muscles, tendons, and joints, musculoskeletal sonography can help diagnose injuries, inflammation, and other musculoskeletal disorders.

Why is Sonography Important?

Sonography plays a critical role in diagnosing a wide range of conditions, both during routine health check-ups and in the diagnosis of specific medical problems. The benefits of sonography include:

• Non-invasive: Sonography does not require incisions or insertion of instruments into the body, making it a safer and more comfortable procedure.
• Radiation-free: Unlike X-rays and CT scans, sonography uses sound waves instead of radiation, making it safe for patients of all ages, including pregnant women.
• Real-time Imaging: Sonography provides live images, allowing for immediate diagnosis and assessment.
• Cost-effective: Compared to other imaging techniques, sonography is an affordable option for many diagnostic purposes.
• Safe for Pregnancy: Sonography is the primary imaging tool used to monitor fetal development during pregnancy, making it an essential part of obstetric care.
