What Is an Ultrasound (Sonar)?
An ultrasound (or sonar) uses sound waves to create images of the inside of your body. It’s completely safe, painless, and radiation-free, making it ideal for both adults and expectant mothers.
Ultrasounds help doctors diagnose medical conditions early, monitor pregnancies, and guide treatments effectively.
Types of Ultrasounds We Offer
Pregnancy Ultrasounds
Early Pregnancy Scan (6–12 weeks): Confirms pregnancy, checks heartbeat, and estimates due date.
Anatomy & Growth Scan (18–22 weeks): Monitors baby’s development and screens for abnormalities.
Late Pregnancy Scan (32+ weeks): Tracks growth, position, and fluid levels.
General & Diagnostic Sonars
Abdominal Ultrasound: Detects gallstones, liver or kidney issues.
Pelvic Ultrasound: Examines uterus, ovaries, or bladder.
Thyroid & Neck Ultrasound: Evaluates swelling or nodules.
Soft Tissue & Musculoskeletal Scans: For injuries or lumps.
Prostate & Testicular Ultrasound: For men’s health concerns.
If you’re unsure which scan you need, our team will guide you during consultation.
Our Ultrasound Process
1. Booking & Preparation
Schedule your appointment via WhatsApp or call. Some scans may require fasting or a full bladder – we’ll give you clear instructions beforehand.
2. The Scan
You’ll lie comfortably while a clinician applies a small amount of gel and glides a probe over the area. The entire scan usually takes 10–20 minutes.
3. Results & Explanation
Images are reviewed by our doctor or sonographer, and you’ll receive your results promptly – with clear explanations and next-step recommendations.
