Through Diagnostic Ultrasound Kendall, a trained technician can see, measure, and identify structures in the image. A specially trained physician then reads the images to help diagnose medical conditions.
Diagnostic ultrasound is useful for evaluating the size, shape, and density of tissues to help diagnose certain medical conditions. Traditionally, ultrasound imaging is great for looking into the abdomen without having to cut it open. Abdominal ultrasound is often used to diagnose gallbladder disease or gallstones, kidney stones or kidney disease, liver disease, appendicitis, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancies, uterine growths or fibroid, and other conditions. It is commonly used to monitor the development of the uterus and fetus during pregnancy. It can also be used to evaluate glands, breast lumps, joint conditions, bone disease, testicular lumps, or to guide needles during biopsies.
