Small Parts Ultrasound
Uses
- Focus: Targets smaller, specific areas of the body, such as the thyroid gland, testes, lymph nodes, and muscles.
- Imaging Technique: Uses high-frequency sound waves to produce high-resolution images of small anatomical structures.
- Procedure: Involves applying a gel to the skin and using a transducer to scan the area of interest.
- Indications: Often used to evaluate lumps, cysts, inflammation, or abnormalities in small organs and tissues.
- Diagnosis: Helps diagnose conditions like thyroid nodules, testicular masses, or soft tissue injuries.
- Safety: Non-invasive and does not involve ionizing radiation, making it safe for repeated use.
- Speed: Typically a quick procedure, with results available immediately or shortly after the scan.
Small Parts Ultrasound is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of small anatomical structures, such as the thyroid, testes, or muscles. It’s non-invasive, radiation-free, and useful for diagnosing and monitoring various conditions.
