EnhancedRadiology provides high quality radiological exams in a number of imaging modalities. Diagnostic studies are performed in a comfortable setting by caring, well trained technicians using the latest equipment.
Enhanced Radiology Center is a big medical servising center providing ultra sound sonography. Ultrasound or sonography is a new treatment process always helped revolutionize our approach to the infertile patient. Ultrasound machines are a very useful addition to the gynecologist’s bag of tricks; and help him to "image" or see structures in the female pelvis. Ultrasound applies high frequency sound waves much like Sonar machines used in ships for detecting submarines underwater. The high frequency sound waves are bounced off the pelvic organs; and the reflected sound waves are received by the probe transducer and a computer is used to reconstruct the waves into black and white images on the monitor. Ultrasound machines today are all real-time machines, which give dynamic images.
In the old days, ultrasound for infertility was done through the abdomen. This required you to fill up your bladder till it was ready to burst ! so that the sound waves could be carried into the pelvis. However, the standard ultrasound technique today for infertility is vaginal ultrasound endovaginal scanning in which a long, slim, slender probe is inserted into the vagina and used for imaging the pelvic organs. Not only is this much more comfortable for you; it also gives much sharper and clearer pictures, since the probe is much closer to the pelvic structures.
Ovulation scans allow for the doctor to determine accurately when the egg matures; and when you ovulate. This is often the basic procedure for most infertility treatment since the treatment revolves around the wife's ovulation. Daily scans are done to visualize the growing follicle, which looks like a black bubble on the screen. Most women can see the follicle clearly for themselves - and know by the scans when the egg has ruptured. Other useful information which can be decided by these scans is the thickness of the uterine lining - the endometrium. The ripening follicle produces increasing quantities of estrogen, which cause the endometrium to thicken. The doctor can get a good idea of how much estrogen you are producing and thus the quality of the egg based on the thickness and brightness of the endometrium on the ultrasound scan.
Ultrasound (also called sonography) is a diagnostic medical procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce dynamic visual images of organs, tissues or blood flow inside the body. The high-frequency sound waves are transmitted to the area of interest and the returning echoes recorded. This type of procedure is often referred to as a sonogram or ultrasound scan.
First developed in World War II to locate submerged objects, the technique is now widely used in virtually every branch of medicine.
Sonography can be used to examine many parts of the body, such as the abdomen, breasts, female reproductive system, prostate, heart and blood vessels and more.
In obstetrics ultrasound is used to study the age, number, and location of the fetus, as well as to examine the fetus for birth defects or other potential problems. In the abdomen, it is used to detect abnormalities such as gallstones or liver disease. Heart disease can be identified through cardiac ultrasound. Ultrasound can also be used for therapeutic purposes such as muscle/joint heating and lithotripsy.
Sonography is increasingly being used in the detection and treatment of heart disease, heart attacks and vascular disease that can lead to stroke. It is also used to guide fine-needle tissue biopsy to assist in taking a sample of cells from an organ for lab testing (for example, a test for cancer in breast tissue).
Diagnostic ultrasound is noninvasive, involves no radiation, and avoids the possible hazards—such as bleeding, infection, or reactions to chemicals—of other diagnostic methods.
The non-physician professionals who perform these procedures are known as sonographers and vascular technologists (sonographers specializing in imaging and tests of blood vessels).
The Charges of Ultrasound Sonography are as follows:
Part to be Scanned Rates for OPD Patients Rates for Ward Patients
Sonography full body Rs.200$ - Rs.250$
Other part of the body Rs.350$ - Rs.400$
