What is Ultrasonography ?

Medical ultrasound is a type of diagnostic imaging technique. It is used to see internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal organs. At Long Life Speciality Clinic, you will find a complete range of ultrasonographic procedures : 1. OBSTETRIC USG 2. NON-OBSTETRIC USG 3. ROUTINE SONOGRAPHY 4. MUSCULOSKELETAL USG All sonography procedures at Long Life Speciality Clinic comply with PCPNDT laws, and we strongly oppose and discourage the practice of sex determination of the foetus.

Obstetric sonography has become a useful procedure in the assessment of women’s cervix who are at risk of giving premature birth. Additionally, ultrasonography is a must for women who experience preterm contractions, as those whose cervix length exceeds 30 mm and are unlikely to deliver within the subsequent weeks. The procedure of obstetric sonography includes the following : 1. Routine obstetrics (early pregnancy, growth scan, assessment of cervical length, and position of the placenta) 2. Nuchal scan/NT scan/early anomaly scan 3. Second-trimester anomaly scan/targeted scan/malformation scan 4. Fetal echocardiography 5. Obstetric Doppler 6. Biophysical profile

We perform non-obstetric sonography/ gynaec sonography, a test which uses sound waves to produce the pictures of : 1. USG pelvis 2. Follicular monitoring/ovulation studies 3. AFC count 4. Pelvis Doppler

Regular or Routine Sonography is done for viewing internal organs such as : 1. Whole abdomen and pelvis 2. Detailed ultrasound assessment of all the abdominal organs, including the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, intestines, prostate and bladder 3. Upper abdomen 4. Detailed ultrasound assessment of all your abdominal organs, including liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and bladder 5. KUB or kidney, ureter and bladder 6. Detailed ultrasound assessment with a specific focus on organs of the urinary system like the kidneys, bladder, and prostate (in males) and uterus/ovaries (in females), with an assessment of pre-void capacity of the bladder and post void residue 7. Provides a detailed evaluation of the prostate through a transrectal approach. 8. Inguinal regions 9. High-resolution USG is done to rule out hernias or any other illness of your inguinal regions 10. Scrotum 11. Detailed assessment of a testis 12. Neck / Thyroid 13. Sono mammography / USG Breast 14. USG Penis 15. Small parts / soft tissue sonography

Musculoskeletal USG is non-invasive, safe, and does not use ionizing radiation. This procedure requires no or little preparation. It is used to diagnose muscle strains, tears, and injuries. It can further diagnose conditions like arthritis and enable doctors to suggest the next line of treatment for you. We perform musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging, which uses sound waves to produce pictures of : 1. Shoulder 2. Elbow 3. Wrist 4. Hip 5. Knee 6. Ankle 7. Foot 8. Tendo-Achilles
