What is USG
Ultrasonography (USG) is a non-invasive imaging technique used for diagnosis and screening. It utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body, helping in the diagnosis and monitoring of various conditions. USG is safe, painless, and does not use radiation, making it suitable for all patients, including pregnant women.

How it works?
A trained specialist will move a small device called a transducer over your skin. It sends sound waves into your body, creating clear images on a screen for examination. If any issues are found, more tests like blood work or biopsies may be needed for a detailed diagnosis. Our team will create a personalized treatment plan that could include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgeries.
