Diagnostic Ultrasound Examination (Sonography)

Hello Beauty Clinic runs a dedicated sonography department staffed by two radiology physicians, MUDr. Václava Vicari and MUDr. Jiří Rezek, offering a wide menu of diagnostic ultrasound examinations at a flat 900 Kč each — without needing a GP referral or hospital waiting times. Available examinations include breast ultrasound, thyroid, the full abdominal organ set (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenals, bladder), lymph nodes, salivary glands, soft tissues, groin and abdominal-wall hernia assessment, and axillary/popliteal regions. Ultrasound is radiation-free, painless and non-invasive, making it suitable for routine prevention as well as investigating specific symptoms; the examining physician explains the findings clearly during the appointment.

Ultrasound (sonography) is one of the safest and most versatile diagnostic imaging methods: high-frequency sound waves create real-time images of soft-tissue structures with no ionising radiation, no contrast injection, and no discomfort beyond gel and gentle probe pressure. At Hello Beauty Clinic, sonography is positioned as the health foundation of beauty — fast, private access to physician-performed diagnostics in a calm, design-led setting rather than a hospital queue. **Examinations offered (each 900 Kč):** - *Breast ultrasound:* radiation-free assessment of breast tissue — useful for evaluating lumps, for dense breast tissue where mammography is less informative, and for younger women's preventive checks. - *Thyroid ultrasound:* assesses gland size, structure and nodules — relevant for fatigue, weight changes, swallowing discomfort or known thyroid disease monitoring. - *Abdominal organs:* liver (fatty liver, lesions), gallbladder and bile ducts (stones, wall changes), pancreas, spleen, kidneys and adrenals (stones, cysts, masses), and urinary bladder. - *Lymph nodes:* evaluation of enlarged or palpable nodes anywhere accessible — neck, axilla, groin, popliteal region. - *Soft tissues:* lumps, lipomas, cysts and other palpable findings under the skin. - *Salivary glands:* swelling, stones and inflammation of the parotid and submandibular glands. - *Groin and abdominal wall:* hernia assessment. - *Pleural cavity and abdominal free fluid:* targeted checks for fluid collections. **The examination:** You lie comfortably while the physician applies gel and scans the area, explaining what appears on the screen as the examination proceeds. Most examinations take 15–30 minutes. Findings are discussed immediately, with a written report; if anything needs specialist follow-up, the physician advises the appropriate next step. **Preparation:** Abdominal examinations are best performed fasting (4–6 hours) to reduce bowel gas and fill the gallbladder; bladder examinations require a comfortably full bladder. Breast, thyroid, lymph node and soft-tissue scans need no preparation. **Who it suits:** Anyone wanting a quick preventive check of a specific organ, investigation of a palpable lump or localised symptom, or radiation-free follow-up of a known finding — with direct physician contact and same-visit explanation of results.
