Detailed imaging for organs, tissues and blood flow
Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of structures inside the body. It is commonly used to examine organs, soft tissues and specific areas based on the symptoms and clinical requirement.
Doppler ultrasound provides additional information about blood flow through arteries and veins. Dr. Yugal Goyal offers diagnostic ultrasound services in Siliguri, with experience in ultrasound, Doppler and advanced ultrasound techniques.
A whole abdomen ultrasound examines organs and structures within the abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and kidneys. It may be advised for abdominal pain, digestive symptoms, urinary complaints and other clinical concerns.
Pelvic ultrasound examines structures within the pelvic region. It may be recommended to evaluate pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, urinary symptoms or other concerns based on the patient's clinical history.
KUB ultrasound examines the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder. It can help assess the urinary system and may be advised when there are symptoms suggesting stones, obstruction or other urinary problems.
Thyroid ultrasound provides detailed images of the thyroid gland and surrounding tissues. It can help evaluate thyroid nodules, enlargement and other structural changes.
Breast ultrasound examines breast tissue using sound waves. It may be used to evaluate a lump, pain or another area of concern and may be recommended alongside other breast imaging when required.
Soft tissue ultrasound examines structures close to the surface of the body. It can help assess lumps, swellings and other changes involving superficial tissues.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound can examine muscles, tendons, ligaments and other soft-tissue structures. It provides real-time imaging and can be useful for assessing certain musculoskeletal problems.
Colour Doppler is an ultrasound technique used to assess blood flow through blood vessels. It provides information about the direction and movement of blood and can help evaluate circulation.
Venous Doppler examines blood flow through the veins. It may be recommended when assessing venous circulation or investigating conditions such as suspected deep vein thrombosis and other venous abnormalities.
Arterial Doppler evaluates blood flow through arteries. It can help assess circulation and identify changes that may affect the blood supply to a particular part of the body.
Carotid Doppler examines the carotid arteries in the neck and assesses blood flow through these important vessels. It may be advised when evaluation of carotid circulation is clinically required.
Renal Doppler assesses blood flow through the blood vessels supplying the kidneys. It can provide useful information when a renal vascular assessment is needed.
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound, or CE-USG, is an advanced ultrasound technique that uses a contrast agent to provide additional information about blood flow and tissue enhancement in selected cases.
Elastography is an ultrasound-based technique that provides information about tissue stiffness. It can add useful information to conventional ultrasound when evaluating selected organs and conditions.
The type of ultrasound or Doppler examination depends on the symptoms, medical history and clinical question. A focused examination may be recommended for a specific concern, while another imaging method may be more appropriate when additional information is required.
The examination is selected based on what needs to be assessed and the information required for further clinical management.
Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body.
No. Ultrasound uses sound waves and does not use ionising radiation.
Doppler ultrasound is used to assess blood flow through arteries and veins and can help identify abnormalities in circulation.
Preparation depends on the type of examination. Some ultrasound studies may require fasting or a full bladder, while others require no special preparation.
Most routine ultrasound examinations are non-invasive and generally comfortable. Some pressure may be applied with the ultrasound probe while images are being obtained.
