Breast Single side (Sonomammography)

Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging modality used to evaluate breast tissue, particularly in women with dense breasts, palpable lumps, or abnormal mammographic findings. It provides real-time assessment of breast parenchyma, distinguishing cystic from solid lesions and characterizing masses based on shape, margins, orientation, echogenicity, and posterior acoustic features. Doppler imaging can assess vascularity, which helps in differentiating benign from suspicious lesions. Ultrasound is also valuable for guiding interventions such as fine-needle aspiration, core biopsy, and drainage procedures. It is safe, does not involve radiation, and can be repeated for follow-up evaluations. The examination is performed with the patient supine and the ipsilateral arm raised to optimize visualization. Systematic scanning in multiple planes ensures comprehensive coverage of all quadrants and the axillary region. Breast ultrasound is a vital adjunct to mammography for diagnosis, monitoring, and pre-procedural planning of breast pathology.

    ULTRASOUND

     

    Diagnostic ultrasound (also called “USG” or “ultrasound”) is available at Delhi and Noida facilities. It is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used to image inside the body. Most diagnostic ultrasound probes are placed on the skin. However, to optimize image quality, probes may be placed inside the body via the gastrointestinal tract (Transrectal ultrasound, abbreviated as “TRUS”), vagina (Transvaginal scan, abbreviated as “TVS”), or blood vessels (also called Doppler ultrasound, also called “Doppler”).1 Level II ultrasounds are typically scheduled during the second trimester and are conducted just like a normal ultrasound.2

     

    Various chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis B, C, and fatty liver disease can lead to tissue damage and subsequent scar tissue formation. As the scar tissue accumulates, the liver loses some of its elasticity and becomes stiffer.3 Many clinical guidelines recommend the use of noninvasive tests for the detection and staging of liver fibrosis. The use of shear-wave elastography (SWE) (also called “elastography”) is available at the Delhi and Noida facilities. The noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis has grown rapidly.4

TAT Policy

The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:

  • Registration date and time
  • Type of scan or test
  • Scan time or sample collection time

Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
