3D/4D Ultrasound

An ultrasound machine creates images that allow various organs in the body to be examined. The machine sends out high-frequency sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives these reflected waves and uses them to create a picture. Unlike with an x-ray or CT scan, there is no ionizing radiation exposure with this test.

Built on a digital platform, TOP OF THE LINE   Voluson BT-13 E-8   utilizes advanced signal processing technology to ensure optimal image quality for high-resolution 2D, volumetric 3D and real-time 4D imaging. Image quality is further enhanced with Harmonic imaging, spectral, color and Doppler imaging,as well as our latest advance – Compound Resolution Imaging. This Machine costs about 4times as much as a routinely used 4D colour Doppler machine and is  installed  only at a handful of vey reputed diagnostic centres

Preparations

• For sonography of Pelvis
  • Patient should consume 3 – 4 large glasses of water ½ to 1 hour prior to examination. Urine collects in the bladder over this  time. Excessive water should not be consumed as it may lead to vomiting and does not serve the purpose.
  • Full bladder permits better evaluation of the urinary bladder itself, the prostate gland and seminal vesicles in males and the uterus, ovaries and adnexa in  females.
  • Gall Bladder study requires 6 hrs fasting.
  • All other examinations do not require any specific preparation.

  Pregnancy Sonography

  • Full bladder is required upto 10 – 12 weeks of pregnancy. The urinary bladder need not be very full thereafter.
  • There are no clothing restrictions. It is advisable to wear something loose and comfortable.
  • It is advisable to come 10-15 minutes prior to the appointment to ensure smooth and relaxed procedure.

  For KUB Sonography

  • No fasting required
  • Drink water
  • Have full-bladder

  For Whole Abdomen  Sonography

  • 3 – 4 large glasses of water. Urine collects in the bladder takes 1 hour to collect.
  • Overnight fasting or 6 hrs fasting required.

  For Upper Abdomen Sonography

  • 6 hrs fasting required
  • Can drink water
