Ultrasound (sonography) is a non-invasive, painless imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves rather than radiation to look inside the body in real time. It is used to assess soft tissues and organs — the breast, thyroid, liver, spleen, muscles and blood vessels — and can show movement such as blood flow. The MEDIAG department at 1. poliklinika Karlovy Vary runs three ultrasound workstations equipped with Toshiba Aplio and Siemens Acuson Antares systems, operated by physicians with long experience in soft-tissue scanning. Because no ionising radiation is involved, ultrasound is safe to repeat and suitable in pregnancy. The result is usually discussed with you immediately after the scan, and a report is sent to your referring doctor.
About this treatment
Ultrasound, also called sonography or USG, builds a live image of soft tissue by sending high-frequency sound waves into the body and measuring the echoes that bounce back from different structures. Because it uses sound rather than X-rays, it involves no ionising radiation, is painless, and can be repeated as often as needed — making it a workhorse for assessing the breast, thyroid, abdominal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys), muscles, and blood vessels,…
