Ultrasound

Diagnostic technique that uses ultrasound to visualise the inside of the body and perform vascular studies (Doppler).

Ultrasound (US) is a fast, harmless and dynamic diagnostic imaging method. Using a simple, non-invasive procedure that does not involve radiation, an image of the organs or lesions to be examined is formed. During the scan, the specialist moves the transducer device over a part of the body. This transducer sends sound waves (ultrasound) that ‘bounce’ off the different organs and tissues, returning a new wave that is transformed into a specific image.
