usg sonography - #18993
I recently had a USG sonography done to evaluate my abdominal pain and digestive issues, and I’m trying to understand how the procedure works and what it’s looking for. Could you explain in detail what USG sonography is, how it’s different from other imaging tests, and what conditions it’s typically used to diagnose? From what I understand, USG sonography uses sound waves to create images of the internal organs, but how does the technology actually produce these images? Does it use high-frequency sound waves that bounce off tissues, and how do doctors interpret the images that are created? How clear and detailed are the images, and what types of issues can be detected using this method? I’ve heard that USG sonography is commonly used to check for conditions like liver disease, kidney stones, and gallbladder problems, but could it also help diagnose other issues, such as tumors, cysts, or abnormalities in the reproductive system? How do doctors differentiate between benign and potentially harmful findings during an ultrasound, and are there follow-up tests that may be needed? What should I expect during the USG sonography procedure? Is it painful, and how long does it take to complete? Are there any preparations I need to make beforehand, such as fasting or drinking water to fill the bladder? Lastly, if my USG sonography results show an abnormality, what steps should I take next? What kinds of treatments or further testing might be necessary based on the findings, and how does the ultrasound help guide doctors in their diagnosis and treatment plans?
