Ultrasound diagnostics

Ultrasound diagnostics is an informative, safe, non-invasive method of examining patients with a whole range of diseases of different organs and systems.

Abdominal ultrasound.

Abdominal ultrasound allows to examine the liver, gall bladder and bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, large vessels of the abdominal cavity, and helps to determine the presence of such diseases as cysts, stones and hyperplastic diseases of the gall bladder, polyps, inflammatory processes of the organs, benign and malignant. tumors, traumatic injuries, postoperative complications, accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, diseases of the peritoneum and omentum, hernias, large vessels of the abdominal cavity.

Ultrasound of kidneys, indications for research.

• Pain in the back;
• Unusual urine color;
• Painful urination, deviations from the norm of general urine analysis;
• Appearance of persistent edema;
• Inflammatory and systemic diseases;
• Congenital anomalies or traumas of the urinary system;
• Kidney stone disease;
• Determination of the presence and size of cysts and tumors in the kidneys.

Ultrasound of the bladder, indications for research.

• suspicions of urolithiasis
• need to evaluate the shape of the bubble
• inflammatory diseases
• estimation of the quantity of residual urine in prostate adenoma
• bladder tumors
• hematuria

Ultrasound of the testicles helps to detect presence.

• Varicose veins
• Tumors and cysts
• Acute surgical pathology (oval torsion).

Taking into account the high frequency of occurrence of varicocele (varicose enlargement of the testicles) in adolescence, the risk of secondary infertility and reduction in the size of the testicles. We recommend that patients aged 14-16 years undergo this type of diagnosis as a preventive measure, even in the absence of complaints.

Ultrasound of organs of the pelvis and prostate in men, indications for research.

• Pains in the perineum, radiating to the inguinal region, scrotum, forehead.
• Frequent and painful urination
• Difficulty urinating, weak stream of urine
• Frequent calls at night
• Feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder
• Discharges from the urethra
• Infertility
• Snizhenie potencii
• Sexually transmitted infections
• Changes in urine analysis or visible to the eye (for example, blood in urine).
• Kidneys, adrenal glands, and urinary bladder are the main organs of the urinary system, most susceptible to the formation of stones, polyps, cysts, and other pathological formations that can be detected with the help of ultrasound.
• Ultrasound of the thyroid gland shows:
• Form and location of the organ,
• Size and volume of shares,
• Focal formations (nodes),
• Character of the structure of the organ,
• Blood,
• Condition of lymphatic nodes.

With the help of ultrasound of the thyroid gland, it is possible to detect such pathologies as thyroiditis, nodular and diffuse-toxic goiter, cysts, benign and malignant tumors, as well as abnormalities in the development of the gland and peculiarities of blood flow.

Ultrasound of the lymphatic system.

lymph nodes of the neck, axillary, groin areas are located superficially, so they can be visualized with the help of a high-frequency linear sensor. Availability of superficial lymph nodes for detailed examination expands the spectrum of diagnostically significant criteria compared to ultrasound examination of abdominal lymph nodes. For example, the presence of metastases in the lymph nodes in patients with tumors of the head and neck organs is an unfavorable prognostic factor, and the stage of the pathological process with the defeat of the lymph nodes significantly affects the choice of treatment method. Tumors of the chest cavity can also metastasize to cervical or axillary lymph nodes. No less important is the diagnosis of inflammatory changes in lymph nodes.

Ultrasound of soft tissues, indications for research.

• Tumor formations of soft tissues (hygroma, atheroma, lipoma, hemangioma, chondroma, etc.),
• Abscesses and phlegmons
• Hematomas (a cavity filled with blood, formed after a severe injury
• Diseases of the connective tissue.
• Ultrasound of salivary glands

During the ultrasound examination, we estimate the structure of the salivary glands, their sizes. Also we see the blood supply of the gland, the state of its ducts. Ultrasound helps to detect inflammation, stones, tumors in the salivary glands.

Determination of the degree of fibrosis and steatosis of the liver by the method of elastography (newest device APLIO 900i with special software).

Elastography and attenuation method - a modern non-invasive method of liver research, which allows to determine the degree of liver fibrosis with a high level of reliability.

Fibrosis is a pathological condition in which healthy cells of the body
