Diagnostic ultrasound is a non-invasive screening which aides in the early detection of potentially life threatening conditions such as blood clots or cancerous masses. Ultrasound imaging is a painless medical technique used to generate real-time images of body’s organs, blood vessels, and internal structure which helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.
The Polsono team is dedicated to providing you with the quality and compassionate care that you deserve. They specialize in a variety of imaging examinations including: general, cardiac, vascular, and OB.
Echo ultrasounds provide a live picture of the heart. This examination takes a closer look at the size and shape of the heart and shape of the heart muscle as well as at the competency of the heart valves to determine if the heart has sustained any damage.
Abdominal ultrasounds assist in the diagnosis of abdominal pains which can be attributed to liver, gallbladder, or pancreas disease.
Right Upper Quadrant This exam is effective in identifying liver or gallbladder disease and depicts right kidney pathology.
Renal (Kidney) Ultrasound Kidney screenings are effective in the early detection of painful kidney stones and potentially cancerous cysts.
Renal Artery Duplex Renal artery scans aide in the diagnosis of high blood pressure and kidney disease.
Abdominal Aorta* This ultrasound examines the abdominal aorta and aides in the early detection of developing aneurysms.
Thyroid Ultrasound Thyroid ultrasounds inspect improperly functioning thyroids and can detect potentially cancerous masses or cysts.
Pelvic Ultrasound** Pelvic ultrasounds aide in the early detection of cervical, utarin, and ovarian cancers. An additional intra-vaginal examination which utilizes a high frequency probe to detect subtle differences between benign and malignant cystic structures is also available.
Breast Ultrasound Breast ultrasounds help diagnose breast abnormalities. They are an effective way to detect difficult to find breast cancers.
Venous (Extremities) Venous ultrasounds are generally used to detect blood clots in the legs or arms. Early detection of clots is Ultrasound imperative in the prevention of potentially life threatening conditions.
Carotid Duplex Carotid artery scans aid in the detection of potentially harmful plaque build-up or blood clots. A Doppler ultrasound may be administered to examine the condition and blood flow of the blood vessels.
