Ultrasonography (USG)

Ultrasonography is a diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves, or ultrasound, to produce images of various organ and soft tissue structures. The examination is safe, painless and harmless. It does not emit radiation and gives detailed and fast information about the body part to be examined.

The clinic uses the most modern Philips
premium
EPIQ Elite” ultrasound scanners with the latest generation probes and software, which guarantee excellent image quality and, as a result, a high and accurate examination quality, enabling the treating physician to choose the most appropriate and effective therapy.
