Ultrasound examination procedure
The test is usually performed in a supine position, with the Patient exposing the part of the body to be tested, as the skin surface should be covered with a gel to prevent reflection in the small amount of air between the test head and the skin.
By moving different probes for different examinations, the organs can be viewed from several directions on the surface, whether during movement, deep inhalation, or under pressure.
The examining doctor freezes the image taken by the device, records it digitally, or prints it, or even records it on video.
The images can be used by the machine to perform various calculations, such as estimating the fluid content of the bladder in case of difficulty urinating.
CAN BE DIAGNOSTATED WITH THE TEST
- During the abdominal examination, it is proper for examining the condition of the liver, bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and to a lesser extent the intestinal tract and abdominal vessels.
- Primarily suitable for judging the bladder and genitals, prostate and uterus, and ovaries.
- Examination of the body cavity (examination of the prostate through the vagina or rectum, which is mostly performed by a gynecologist or urologist) gives a more accurate structural picture of the genitals.
- During the examination of the cervical region, the structure, position and lesions of the salivary glands, thyroid gland, cervical lymph nodes and the pathological formulas formed here can be judged.
- Ultrasound can be used to examine testicles, breasts, other soft parts such as obvious skin or muscle changes, but it can also be used to examine joints.
- The study is also excellent for depicting and following the structure of the vessel walls, the stenoses, and the flow disturbances caused. In particular, the study of venous circulation in the carotid arteries and limbs has become common practice.

What you should know before the test
Do not eat for 5-6 hours before the test, but carbonated and tasteless water can be consumed and is even recommended. Consumption of coffee should be avoided as it may affect the test result by causing gallbladder contraction.
It is not recommended to eat legumes and gassing foods on the day before the test, (kale, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, cauliflower, etc.)
The examination requires the bladder to be full, which helps in a more accurate assessment of the pelvic organs (male and female genitals).
If you have had a mirror examination (one in which air is passed into the intestinal tract), there should be a 2-day break between abdominal / pelvic examinations.
If you have had a previous examination or have previous findings, other examination results, (CT, MR, laboratory examinations) medical documentation (outpatient sheet, final report) in connection with the given complaints, please bring your full material, including the recordings, CD to make a more accurate assessment to help you recover!
