Ultrasound in Karlovy Vary

Physician-performed diagnostic ultrasound in Carlsbad Clinic's dedicated sonography suite, with immediate findings discussed at the scan. The comprehensive option covers abdomen, kidneys, bladder, thyroid and carotid arteries in a single 30-minute appointment — a broad preventive screen of the organs and major vessels most worth checking. Single-region scans are also available if you only need one area. Because a doctor performs and interprets the scan, you receive findings and recommendations on the day rather than a separate report.

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.
