Examining the heart or a developing child within the womb is the most common purpose of an external ultrasound scan. The liver, kidneys, and other organs in the abdomen and pelvis can also be examined, as well as any other organs or tissues that can be seen through the skin, like muscles and joints.
What should be the ideal duration between the Ultrasound scan report and Doctor Consultation?
The maximum duration between the ultrasound scan report and Dr. consultation should be 1 day.
Doppler ultrasounds are a non-invasive test that use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to bounce off moving red blood cells to estimate the blood flow via your blood arteries. Regular ultrasounds produce images using sound waves but are unable to depict blood flow.
The maximum duration between the ultrasound scan report and Dr. consultation should be 1 day.
Radiologists employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a medical imaging technology to create images of the body’s anatomy and physiological functions. Strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves are used in MRI scanners to provide images of the body’s organs.
☛Functional MRI (fMRI)
☛Breast scans
☛Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
☛Magnetic resonance venography (MRV)
☛Cardiac MRI
An X-ray is a short, painless procedure that creates images of the inside body components, especially your bones.
The amount that X-ray beams are absorbed varies based on the density of the material they pass through as they travel through your body. On X-rays, dense substances like bone and metal appear as white. Your lungs’ air appears as black. Grayscale pictures of fat and muscle are used.
A contrast medium, such iodine or barium, is injected into your body during several types of X-ray exams to enhance the clarity of the images.
The following are the differnt types of X-Rays:
☛Abdominal x-ray
☛Barium x-ray
☛Bone x-ray
☛Chest x-ray
☛Dental x-ray
☛Extremity x-ray
☛Hand x-ray
☛Joint x-ray
☛Lumbosacral spine x-ray
☛Neck x-ray
☛Pelvis x-ray
☛Sinus x-ray
☛Skull x-ray
☛Thoracic spine x-ray
☛Upper GI and small bowel series
☛X-ray of the skeleton
