There’s just no substitute: between us we scanned over 2500 cases in the last 12 months and a lot more in the preceding 20 years.
Our standard ‘non-cardiac’ sonography protocol starts with an overview of the heart, lungs and thorax and ends with a comprehensive abdominal exam. Whatever the presenting complaint, we need a full assessment of your patient’s status to guide decision-making.
There’s a whole world of unexpected applications out there. Sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of hypothyroidism (by total thyroid volume index) are very good. We can see meniscal tears.
We carry Temno core biopsy tools which offer the best ‘steerability’ and adjustable throw length for any solid organs. For bladder masses we prefer, ultrasound-guided grab biopsies through a urethral catheter to avoid seeding.
Much better than chest x-ray for diagnosis of pneumonia, pulmonary oedema, pleural effusion and pneumothorax.
Our reports are not just a list of findings. Based on an overview of the case we include differential diagnoses, recommendations for further investigations and treatment.
