What is a Non-Obstetric Ultrasound?
Non-obstetric ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of internal organs, tissues, and blood flow. This type of ultrasound is commonly used to:
- Assess abdominal and pelvic organs, including the liver, kidneys, and bladder.
- Diagnose conditions like cysts, tumours, or inflammation.
- Evaluate blood flow and detect vascular abnormalities.
This non-invasive procedure provides essential insights into a wide range of medical concerns, helping clinicians develop targeted treatment plans.
