The Success Stories
Impact of Our Ultrasound Services on Patient Lives
Case 1: Detection of Threatening Gallbladder Stones
A senior mother, often dismissing her stomach pains as aging, was diagnosed with a large gallbladder stone through an abdominal ultrasound, prompted by a routine blood test showing an abnormal liver index, leading to immediate surgery.
The subsequent surgery revealed inflammation and pus formation around the gallbladder and liver, conditions that could have led to cancer if left untreated. This intervention not only removed the immediate threat but also significantly improved her overall health, with help of ultrasound in early detection and the prevention of potentially life-threatening conditions.
Case 2: Early Detection of Breast Cancer During Annual Checkup
A disciplined woman, who was always punctual with her annual medical check-ups, discovered a suspicious lump in her breast during an ultrasound scan—despite having undergone the same check-up just last year. This alarming discovery led to a referral to the hospital, where detailed diagnostics confirmed it to be Stage 1 Breast Cancer.
Thanks to the early detection, she was able to undergo treatment that was not only effective but also straightforward, relatively easy, and comfortable. Her proactive approach to her health allowed for a swift recovery.
Case 3: Enlarged Prostate Detected, Instead of Aging
For three years, an elderly man in his 60s endured restless nights, attributing his sleep disturbances to typical aging issues. Venturing outdoors became burdensome due to frequent bathroom trips, prompting him to avoid leaving home altogether. Painful urination and urinary frequency were dismissed as inevitable consequences of aging, warranting no medical attention.
It wasn’t until his daughter insisted on a thorough evaluation of his persistent issues that he underwent prostate ultrasound and marker testing, revealing a diagnosis of Benign Prostate Hypertrophy (BPH). Prompt treatment initiation led to improved sleep quality and restored confidence in venturing outdoors. His overall health has significantly improved since beginning treatment, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis and intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
An ultrasound scan, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It’s a non-invasive diagnostic tool that helps doctors examine organs, tissues, and vessels without the need for incisions.
Yes, ultrasound is considered a safe procedure. It uses sound waves, not radiation, to produce images. It’s commonly used during pregnancy and to diagnose various conditions in different parts of the body.
Ultrasound scans are a crucial early detection tool that can be particularly beneficial even for individuals without noticeable symptoms. They offer a proactive, accessible, and cost-effective means of healthcare by potentially identifying abnormalities or conditions at an early stage. This early detection is invaluable because it allows for simpler, less invasive treatment options, often at a lower cost. Moreover, opting for an ultrasound before resorting to more sophisticated and expensive tests like MRIs can prevent unnecessary expenses. Sophisticated tests, while comprehensive, may not always be necessary for initial screenings and could lead to high costs without any detection of abnormalities, especially in individuals lacking specific symptoms. Ultrasounds provide a faster, efficient, and economically sensible approach to health monitoring, ensuring that more invasive and costly diagnostic methods are only used when clearly warranted.
Preparation for an ultrasound scan can vary depending on the area being examined. Some scans may require you to fast for a period of time, while others may require a full bladder. You will receive specific instructions based on the type of ultrasound you are having.
During an ultrasound, you will be asked to lie on a bed. Our doctor will apply a special gel to the area being examined. This gel helps transmit the sound waves. A handheld device called a transducer is then moved over the gel-covered area, sending sound waves into your body. The procedure is usually painless and takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
The time it takes to get results can vary. In some cases, our doctor may be able to discuss preliminary results with you immediately after the procedure. However, a detailed report is typically sent to your referring doctor within a few days.
Ultrasound scans can detect a wide range of conditions, including abnormalities in the liver, kidneys, and other abdominal organs, blockages in blood vessels, and tumors in various parts of the body. They are also crucial in monitoring the health and development of a fetus during pregnancy.
While ultrasound scans can identify areas of abnormal tissue or lumps, they cannot definitively diagnose cancer. If a suspicious area is found during the scan, our doctor will refer the patient to the appropriate hospital for further testing, such as a biopsy, to determine the nature of the abnormality. This ensures that you receive comprehensive care and the most accurate diagnosis possible.
Ultrasound scans have no known harmful side effects and are considered safe for most people, including pregnant women and infants.
The frequency of ultrasound scans depends on your specific health condition and needs. Our doctor can recommend how often you should undergo ultrasound examinations.
