GE Ultrasound / Philip Envisor Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves and their echoes to form the images. The probe can be moved along the surface of the body and angled to obtain various views. Ultrasound has been used in a variety of clinical settings, including obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology and cancer detection. The main advantage of ultrasound is able to see the certain structures without using radiation.

Some key functions

• It is safe (without radiation and there is no risk at all), you can scan the patients repeatedly and have a proper follow-ups.
• It tells the difference between cysts and solid masses.
• It can easily tell how close the masses are from the important vessels.
• It can detect changes consistent with malignancy.
• It can easily measure dimensions and volume.
