Types of Ultrasound Scans

At Silicon City Hospital, we offer different types of ultrasound scans based on the medical need:

• External Ultrasound: The most common type, where a handheld device (transducer) is moved over the skin to capture images.
• Internal Ultrasound: Used for detailed imaging of organs like the uterus, prostate, or rectum. The transducer is inserted into the body (e.g., transvaginal or transrectal ultrasound).
• Doppler Ultrasound: Specialized imaging to assess blood flow, detect blockages, and evaluate vascular conditions.

Why Choose Ultrasound Scanning?

Ultrasound scans are widely used due to their efficiency, safety, and versatility. Some key benefits include:

• Non-Invasive & Radiation-Free: A safe imaging method, suitable for all age groups, including pregnant women.
• Real-Time Imaging: Provides live visuals, making it ideal for monitoring pregnancies or guiding medical procedures like biopsies.
• Versatile Applications: Used in detecting tumours, gallstones, heart conditions, and soft tissue injuries.
• Quick & Affordable: Readily available and cost-effective compared to other imaging methods like MRI or CT scans.
