ULTRASOUND
For safe, non-invasive diagnostic imaging
Diagnostic Ultrasounds at R·MEDY Health help identify and diagnose a variety of medical conditions, allowing for early intervention and treatment.
What's Ultrasound?
A diagnostic ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that can be used to examine various organs and structures in the body, such as the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and female and male reproductive organs.
What can it detect?
Ultrasound screening can be used to detect early signs of certain conditions or diseases before symptoms even arise. This allows for early intervention and treatment, which can significantly improve health outcomes. Some examples of preventative health screenings that can be done with ultrasound include:
Breast Cancer Screening
An ultrasound can be used to detect small breast tumors that may not be visible on a mammography.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening
Ultrasounds can detect the presence of an aneurysm in the abdominal aorta before it ruptures, which can be life-saving.
Thyroid Cancer Screening
Ultrasounds can detect nodules or other abnormalities in the thyroid gland that may indicate cancer.
Fetal Ultrasound
Ultrasounds are used during pregnancy to monitor the growth and development of the fetus and detect any abnormalities.
Why you might want to get a Ultrasound?
A diagnostic ultrasound can be used as a preventative health screening tool and also an exploratory technique to assess the possible root cause of any symptoms the patient might be experiencing.
There are many important reasons why your healthcare provider may order a diagnostic ultrasound for you, such as:
To Diagnose

To Evaluate
Ultrasounds can be used to evaluate the health of your organs and tissues, such as the liver, pancreas, and thyroid gland allowing for early intervention and treatment.
