We use most modern ultrasound machines, ultrasound examinations of all organs and body regions are performed by radiologists and/or specialists in the relevant branches of medicine:
- head: transcranial – performed by a neurologist; transfontanelle – performed by a paediatric neonatologist;
- neck (lymph nodes, blood vessels); thyroid and parathyroid glands (radiologist and endocrinologist and endocrine surgeon), salivary glands (parotid, submandibular), soft tissues (nodules, cysts, haematomas);
- abdomen (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys – also performed by internists, nephrologists and urologists):
- pelvic organs (in women – uterus and ovaries, examined by gynaecologists; in men – prostate, bladder and seminal vesicles, examined by urologists);
- of the urogenital system (kidneys and bladder, testes and scrotum – performed by urologists, ultrasound of the prostate – transabdominally and transrectally – performed by urologists);
- soft tissues – performed by a radiologist
- musculoskeletal (MSK ultrasound) shoulders, elbows, wrist joints, small joints of the hands and feet, hips, knees, ankle joints, tendons-a rheumatologist performs examinations;
- cardiological (performed by cardiologists), colour Doppler, tissue Doppler
- Doppler ultrasound (Colour Doppler) is performed to assess blood flow through blood vessels – arteries and veins of the arms and legs, carotid and vertebral arteries, renal arteries and thoracic arteries – by vascular surgeons, cardiologists, neurologists and radiologists
- Paediatric ultrasound: hip ultrasound in infants – performed by a paediatric orthopaedist; abdominal and urinary-tract ultrasound in children – performed by a paediatric gastroenterologist; brain ultrasound in newborns – performed by a paediatrician-neonatologist; thyroid ultrasound – performed by a paediatric endocrinologist; urinary-tract ultrasound – performed by a paediatric urologist.
We use modern digital mammograph for precise detection of changes in breast tissue.
We use modern X-ray apparatus which enables detailed examinations of bones, spine, joints, lungs, sinuses, abdomen and other organs, with minimal radiation dose thanks to advanced technology: we perform HSG (hysterosalpingography); voiding urethrography and IVP (intravenous pyelography), as well as fistulography.
