As a matter of fact, Excellence Health Care advises men who aged between 65-75 who are currently smoking or used to be a smoker to have an abdominal ultrasound so they can check for any signs of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
A pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves to make images of the organs inside your pelvis. Your doctor might want you to do this test to diagnose a condition or check your baby’s health while still in the womb. In women, a pelvic ultrasound looks at the cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, bladder, and vigina. While in men, it is used to examine the bladder, prostate gland, and seminal vesicles.
A transrectal ultrasound scan examines the prostate gland using ultrasound. The doctor might take samples of tissue from the prostate during this examination. It can help to diagnose prostate cancer. It’s also used to analyze a nodule found during a rectal exam, notice abnormalities, and decide whether the gland is enlarged. Ultrasound is safe and does not use ionizing radiation.
Transvaginal ultrasound is a test used to examine a woman’s uterus, cervix, ovaries, tubes, and pelvic area. Transvaginal means through or across the vagina. The ultrasound probe will be inside the vagina during the test. The patient will lie down on their back on a table with their knees bent. (feet may be held in stirrups). The technician or doctor will introduce a probe into the vagina. It may be somewhat uncomfortable but will not hurt.
The intention behind performing an obstetric ultrasound is to supply a safe, non-invasive, and precise method to clinically estimate the pregnant uterus and fetus from the assurance of a viable pregnancy throughout the woman’s pregnancy-. Its process includes a small probe called a transducer that is placed directly on the skin. A gel is applied over the skin before placing the transducer. High-frequency sound waves in the device travel from the transducer through the gel into the body. Sound is absorbed by the tissues and reflected in the transducer. The sound waves are transformed into electrical impulses interpreted as images.
Small parts ultrasound examinations inspect unexplained bumps or lumps on the breasts, thyroid, reproductive organs, and other small body parts. These ultrasound exams help detect potentially harmful health issues and can precipitate and inform successful treatment techniques through early diagnosis. Unexplained lumps and bumps around your body can make you worry, and they may leave you with questions and concerns.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound allows physicians to see-in high resolution-a person’s muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints. In addition to the high-resolution images, We can focus on the exact location of the patient’s pain, and we can also focus on arteries and veins—and determine how blood is flowing.

A chest X-Ray is an imaging test that uses X-Rays to examine the structures and organs in your chest. These X-Rays can help you to find out how your lungs and heart are working.

You may have to move your body to different positions to provide different angles; however, changing positions may cause discomfort. The X-Ray examines fractures, tumors, degenerative conditions, and abnormal shape of your bones or joints.

This image shows the liver, spleen, stomach, diaphragm, and small and large intestines. An X-Ray technician takes one or two pictures of the abdomen to view the area from different angles. It would be best to stay still for some seconds to clear the X-Ray image. It can detect kidney stones, a perforation (hole) in the intestines, an obstruction (blockage), or a mass such as a tumor.
