What is Breast, Thyroid, and Abdominal Ultrasound
Breast, thyroid, and abdominal ultrasound is an imaging test that allows for a detailed evaluation of these organs. Through ultrasound, a doctor can detect changes, lumps, cysts, gland enlargements, or other abnormalities that may require further diagnosis or treatment.
Who is it for
The test is intended for individuals who experience symptoms such as pain, enlargement, or changes in the shape of the breasts, thyroid lumps, digestive issues, bloating, abdominal pain, or concerning changes in the abdominal area. Ultrasound is also recommended as part of health prevention.
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is required for ultrasound. For breast ultrasound, it is recommended not to use any skin cosmetics to avoid interfering with the image. For abdominal ultrasound, patients are advised not to eat for about 4-6 hours before the test to get the clearest image of internal organs.
How the test is performed
Ultrasound is painless and usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes. During the test, a special gel is applied to the skin, which facilitates the movement of the ultrasound probe. The probe examines the selected areas, and the doctor observes the image on the monitor. If necessary, the patient may be asked to change position to get a better view of the examined area.
How long it takes to get the result and how to interpret it
The ultrasound result is usually available immediately after the test is completed. The doctor discusses it with the patient, presenting the findings and recommendations for further treatment or diagnosis. If abnormalities are detected, the specialist may recommend additional tests such as a biopsy or laboratory tests.
Additional information
Ultrasound is a safe test that does not use radiation, and the results are precise in assessing internal structures. It is an excellent diagnostic method in medicine, especially for prevention and early detection of abnormalities in the body.
