Ultrasound diagnostics play an important role in internal medicine examinations. The procedure is painless and can be used to examine the structural differences, changes in size, congenital abnormalities and circulatory disorders of the organs.
In our clinic, the work of our colleagues is supported by the Mindray Vetus 8 ultrasound, as well as an ECG device, thus we can get comprehensive details not only of the abdominal organs, but also of the circulatory system.
Abdominal and cardiac ultrasound examinations are recommended before procedures performed under general anesthesia, as well as annually from the age of 6 years, as screening.
