Ultrasound (sonography)

Ultrasound (sonography)

Ultrasound diagnostics (sonography) is, along with computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, the most widely used imaging examination procedure in medicine. By emitting and receiving harmless ultrasound waves, this technique makes it possible to visualise most structures of the internal body. A gel is used for the examination because the sound waves cannot pass through air and bone.

An ultrasound examination produces cross-sectional images. With the Doppler method, it is possible to visualise movement. With this procedure it is possible to assess the function of the heart muscle, the intestine and joints.

  • Doppler examinations of the carotid artery, pelvic and leg veins, heart,...
  • Lymph nodes
  • Pancreas
  • Liver
  • Spleen
  • Kidneys
