Ultrasound

 

Ultrasound, like radiology, can be used to view many of the body's organs.
The difference is that ultrasound allows us to see the internal structure
of the organs in question whereas traditional radiology may not show such
details. For example, bladder tumors are rarely visualized on regular
radiographs (x-rays). With ultrasound, we can easily see masses within
the bladder. This allows for a more rapid diagnosis and treatment plan.
Some of the other organs that can be readily imaged include heart, liver,
kidney, and spleen. Our new ultrasound has doppler capabilities also.
