    Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of the inside of the body in a painless and non-invasive manner without radiation. Different types of ultrasound exams include those of the abdomen, pelvis, breasts, thyroid, and musculoskeletal system, and some may require fasting or a urine hold for preparation. Ultrasounds are performed using various probes that emit and receive sound waves to produce images displayed by echopattern and texture.

    BASICS OF ULTRASOUND

    INTRODUCTION TO ULTRASOUND

    • An ultrasound scan creates a real-time picture


    of the inside of the body using sound waves.
    Ultrasound is generally painless and non-
    invasive. Ultrasound works differently to x-ray
    in that it does not use radiation.
    TYPES OF ULTRASOUND
    • Abdomen Ultrasound
    • Pelvic Ultrasound
    • Obs/Gynae Ultrasound
    • Breast Ultrasound
    • Thyroid Ultrasound
    • Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
    • Transvaginal/ Transrectal Ultrasound.
    • Doppler Ultrasound.
    PREPARATION FOR ULTRASOUND

    • Fast for 8-12 hours for abdomen scan.


    • Urine hold for pelvic scan.
    PROBES USED IN ULTRASOUND
    • Linear Probe.. ...
    • Curvilinear Probe ...
    • Endocavitary Probe. ...
    • Phased Array/Cardiac Probe. ...
    • Transesophageal (TEE) Probe. ...
    • 3D/4D Probe
    ECHOPATTERN
    • Uniform/Isoechoic/Homogenous
