Ultrasonographic examination

What is it ?

Ultrasound, ultrasound correctly (sometimes also called ultrasound only), examination of modern imaging is a noninvasive method of instrument that uses ultrasonic waves reflected from various body tissues. Typically used to probe the frequency range 2-10 MHz.

Ultrasonographic device

Our facility is equipped with the most advanced and high quality Japanese ultrasonic top class device HITACHI ARIETTA 850 SE with spectral and color Doppler mapping, equipped with multifrequency convex, linear and phase-controlled probe meets all the parameters asked for in the present diagnostic ultrasound examinations: also with RTE elastography with Strain Histogram, SHEARWAVE (SHW) elastography and SWE elastography. Due to this facilities we are able to make a diagnosis of all liver fat grades (F1-F4). It allowes us to diagnose elasticity of a solid leason, e.g. during the brest examination. This device was a new put into operation in 05/21.
