Gynecology, obstetrics, orthopedics, urology, hepatology, gastroenterology, sports medicine, and various other medical disciplines have one exam in particular in common: ultrasound. It is often one of the first exams requested by the specialist doctor. It is an agile exam, without contraindications but important for carrying out a diagnostic and treatment path.
What exactly is ultrasound? It is a diagnostic investigation based on the echo generated by the interaction between ultrasound waves produced by a probe and the tissue examined. It does not use ionizing radiation.
And the color doppler? It represents an evolution of ultrasound. It is an imaging technique that combines ultrasound with the detection of blood flow. It is indicated for diagnosing vascular problems such as obstructions, stenosis, or anomalies in blood flow, thus providing valuable information for the management of cardiovascular and vascular pathologies.
Are these non-invasive and safe exams? Exactly. Today ultrasound is considered a powerful diagnostic tool that helps guide the treatment of many pathologies and monitor therapeutic responses.
