When a doctor needs to assess the condition of internal organs, Ultrasound at Urosvit can be one of the methods of primary diagnosis. The study creates images using sound waves and does not use ionizing radiation. Its results are evaluated together with complaints, examination, and tests.

Abdominal ultrasound allows examination of the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, and spleen. During the study, signs of fatty liver changes, cysts, individual neoplasms, organ enlargement, or tissue structure abnormalities can be detected.

The method is used to detect stones in the gallbladder, thickening of its walls, and dilation of the bile ducts. The condition of the pancreas is also assessed by ultrasound; however, the quality of the image may be reduced due to intestinal gases. If necessary, the doctor additionally prescribes CT, MRI, or tests.

During kidney ultrasound, changes in their size and structure, cysts, volumetric formations, parts of stones, and dilation of the renal pelvis due to impaired urine outflow can be seen. The examination of the bladder helps assess its walls, the presence of stones, and the volume of residual urine.

The ultrasound image does not always show the cause of inflammation. For example, urinary tract infections are primarily confirmed by complaints and urine tests. Ultrasound is used to search for structural changes or possible complications.

Thyroid ultrasound allows determining its size, tissue heterogeneity, the presence of nodules and cysts. Based on the characteristics of the formation, the doctor assesses whether observation or a fine-needle biopsy is needed. The ultrasound image itself does not allow for a definitive determination of the nature of each nodule.

Breast ultrasound is used to evaluate lumps, pain, and other changes. It helps distinguish fluid-filled formations from dense structures, but it is supplemented by mammography or biopsy as needed.

In women, ultrasound helps detect uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometrial changes, some congenital features, and signs of complications. The method is also used for pregnancy monitoring. The examination is performed through the anterior abdominal wall or transvaginally, depending on the purpose and indications.

In men, ultrasound is used to assess the bladder, prostate, and scrotal organs. It can show prostate enlargement, cysts, volumetric formations, fluid accumulation, or blood flow disturbances.

Echocardiography shows the heart chambers, valves, wall thickness, and contractile function. It can help detect valve defects, chamber enlargement, reduced pumping function, fluid around the heart, and some congenital changes.

Doppler studies assess the direction and speed of blood flow. It is used to search for arterial narrowing, venous outflow disturbances, and deep vein thrombosis.

Ultrasound passes poorly through air and bone tissue, so it is not the primary method for assessing the lungs, bones, or the brain of an adult. Accuracy depends on the area, patient preparation, equipment capabilities, and the specialist's experience.

Ultrasound helps detect many structural changes and narrow down the possible causes of symptoms, but not every finding is a ready diagnosis. The method is most beneficial when prescribed for specific indications, and the results are interpreted by a doctor along with other data.
