Ultrasound scan is a medical imaging procedure, using high frequency sound waves to produce high-resolution images of the body organs and tissue. The ultrasound transducer collects the receiving signal from the body and displays real time images for accurate diagnosis.
As ultrasound is quick, does not involve ionizing radiation, and is especially suitable for examining children and pregnant women. As it is relatively inexpensive yet accurate, it is widely used for health check purposes in providing an initial diagnosis. It is also used during ultrasound-guided interventional procedures, thus increasing the safety and accuracy of the procedure.
Union Imaging and Healthcheck Centre has installed two state of the art LOGIQ E10 ultrasound machines to provide a high quality ultrasound service.
