Ultrasound is one of the most versatile diagnostic modality and is easily available in most of the cities. Ultrasound machines have a wide range of features which determine the cost of the machine. Black and white ultrasound machines cost in the range of Rs. 5-12 Lacs while Colour Ultrasound machines cost in the range of Rs. 15 - 80 Lacs depending on the type and number of probes available. Ultrasound machine uses sound waves to create the image of internal body organs and other things. Ultrasound has no radiation and is therefore safe even for pregnant women. One of the most important use of ultrasound machine is to do the ultrasound of foetus in the womb. This test is used to evaluate the growth of the foetus and to rule out any kind of genetic diseases in the foetus.
Ultrasound is also the modality of choice for abdominal imaging for diagnosing stones in the gall bladder, kidneys, ureter or urinary bladder. Ultrasound is very useful in the field of women health to diagnose any kinds of problems in the female reproductive organs.
Ultrasound is completely safe, non-invasive and painless test. In this test the patient has to simply lie on a couch and the doctor will put a probe on the body part which needs to be scanned. The images are seen on the monitor screen and analysis is done by the doctor. Most of the ultrasound scans take less than 15 minutes. The patient can go home immediately after the test by walking or driving. Ultrasound of the abdomen requires the patient to be in fasting for 5-6 hours. For kidney ultrasound or lower abdomen ultrasound, the patient has to stop urinating for 1-2 hours before the test and should drink 3-4 glasses of water. For most of the other ultrasounds, no specific preparation is required. In transvaginal ultrasound, a thin probe is inserted in the vaginal canal. In Trans-rectal ultrasound, a thin probe is inserted in the rectum.
4D Ultrasound gives live 3D images of the organs specially the foetus. In 4D ultrasound even the family members can see the face of the unborn child.
