The Ultrasound Section is offering a wide range of diagnostic ultrasound examinations using top-of- the-line machines that deliver outstanding diagnostic confidence.

Virtually all parts of the body may be examined using the systems, including the neonatal brain, carotids, abdominal or peripheral blood vessels, thyroid gland, breast, prostate, testes, muscles, joints, soft tissues, chest, abdomen (liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and appendix).

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of abdominal, thyroid or breast masses or tumors; needle aspiration or drainage of abscess, cyst, pleural effusion, or ascites; and transrectal biopsy of the prostate are being performed with great precision and accuracy. The service is manned by well-trained and experienced radiologists who are leaders in their field, as well as qualified and competent ultrasonographers and other support staff.

For maximum benefit and accuracy, all examinations are carefully performed or personally supervised and checked by physician-radiologists.

No patient is allowed to leave the section without receiving a proper diagnosis or impression.
