Welcome to our informative guide on Gallbladder Ultrasound (USG), a non-invasive imaging technique that plays a crucial role in diagnosing gallbladder-related conditions. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Gallbladder USG, its significance in healthcare, the procedure involved, and the conditions it can detect.

BOOK APPOITMENT

FAQS

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver on the right side of the abdomen. It plays a role in storing and concentrating bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver, before releasing it into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of fats.

The main function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile. When we eat a fatty meal, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile into the small intestine through the bile ducts. Bile helps break down fats, making it easier for our bodies to absorb and digest them.

Gallstones are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder. They can vary in size and composition, and are usually made of cholesterol, bilirubin, or a combination of both. Gallstones may form when there is an imbalance in the components of bile, leading to the solidification of cholesterol or bilirubin particles.

Gallbladder-related symptoms can include pain in the upper right abdomen or between the shoulder blades, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and indigestion, particularly after consuming fatty foods. In the case of gallstones blocking the bile ducts, it can lead to more severe symptoms such as intense pain, fever, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).

Common diagnostic methods include abdominal ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan. These tests can help detect gallstones, inflammation, or other problems with the gallbladder.

If gallstones are causing symptoms, the most common treatment is cholecystectomy, which is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. This procedure is usually done laparoscopically, which is minimally invasive and has a relatively quick recovery time. In some cases, medication and lifestyle changes may be prescribed to dissolve small cholesterol gallstones.

Yes, you can live a normal life without a gallbladder. After gallbladder removal, bile from the liver flows directly into the small intestine, helping with digestion. However, it is advisable to make some dietary adjustments, such as reducing the intake of fatty foods, to help manage any potential digestive changes.

Transvaginal sonography, also known as transvaginal ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the pelvic organs, including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and fallopian tubes. It involves inserting a transducer probe into the vagina to obtain close-up and clearer images of the pelvic region.

Transvaginal sonography is commonly used to assess various gynecological conditions and issues, such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, pelvic masses, infertility, and early pregnancy evaluation. It allows for better visualization and assessment of pelvic structures compared to abdominal ultrasound.

During the procedure, you will be asked to empty your bladder to have a more clear view of the pelvic organs. You will then lie down on an examination table with your feet placed in stirrups, similar to a pelvic exam. The transducer, covered with a disposable sheath, will be inserted into your vagina. The transducer emits sound waves that bounce off the pelvic organs, and the reflected waves are used to create real-time images on a monitor.

For most women, transvaginal sonography is not painful, though you might experience some mild discomfort during the insertion of the transducer. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, but it's essential to communicate with the sonographer or healthcare provider if you experience any discomfort during the exam.

Transvaginal sonography is considered a safe procedure with minimal risks. The transducer is covered with a sterile sheath to prevent infection, and it doesn't use ionizing radiation like X-rays or CT scans. It is a modality of choice to characterize the types of cysts like hemorrhagic and endometriotic cysts. It is also utilised to detect the gestational sac at a early stage. The other uses are for detecting ectopic pregnancy and also check for fetal viability(Heart)

The duration of the transvaginal sonography procedure varies, but it typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes to complete.

BOOK APPOITMENT

FAQS

Follicular study, also known as follicle monitoring or ovulation tracking, is a medical procedure used to monitor the growth and development of ovarian follicles in a woman's ovaries. It is often employed to assess the timing of ovulation and to increase the chances of conception in couples trying to conceive.

1. To determine the optimal time for sexual intercourse or intrauterine insemination (IUI) to maximize the chances of conception. 2. To assess the health and development of ovarian follicles during fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF). 3. To diagnose and monitor conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or other ovulatory disorders.

Follicular study is usually initiated on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle (counting the first day of full flow as Day 1). This is when the baseline ultrasound is performed to assess the ovaries and the endometrial lining.

A follicular study involves periodic transvaginal ultrasounds to visualize the ovaries and measure the size and number of developing follicles. The procedure is non-invasive and painless. Typically, ultrasounds are performed every 2-3 days starting from around Day 9 or 10 of the menstrual cycle until the dominant follicle(s) reach an appropriate size, indicating imminent ovulation.

The dominant follicle is the one that grows the fastest and becomes the largest during the menstrual cycle. It is the follicle that will eventually release a mature egg during ovulation. The size of the dominant follicle is usually around 18-25 mm before ovulation.

Once the dominant follicle reaches the appropriate size, ovulation is expected to occur within the next 24 to 36 hours. At this point, your doctor may advise you on the best timing for sexual intercourse or fertility treatments, such as IUI.

No, a follicular study is not designed to detect pregnancy. Its primary purpose is to monitor follicular development and ovulation. After ovulation, a pregnancy test can be taken about two weeks later to determine if conception has occurred.

Cranial USG

Cranial Ultrasound, also known as transcranial ultrasound or cranial sonography, is a specialized medical imaging procedure that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the brain's interior. This painless and radiation-free technique is particularly valuable for examining the brains of newborns and young infants whose skulls have not yet fully developed.

BOOK APPOITMENT

FAQS

Cranial ultrasound is primarily used to examine the brains of newborns and infants. It is commonly employed in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to assess brain development, detect any brain abnormalities, and monitor for conditions such as bleeding, hydrocephalus, or other congenital anomalies.

Cranial ultrasound is a painless and non-invasive procedure. It involves placing a small handheld device called a transducer on the baby's fontanelle (the soft spot on the top of their head) or on the side of the head. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves that penetrate the skull and bounce back as echoes when they encounter different structures in the brain. These echoes are then converted into images by a computer, creating a real-time view of the brain.

Yes, Cranial Ultrasound is considered safe for infants. It does not involve the use of ionizing radiation (like X-rays) and is non-invasive, so there is no risk of harm to the baby during the procedure. It is often preferred for newborns due to its safety and ease of use.

Cranial ultrasound is commonly performed on premature infants or newborns with certain risk factors for brain complications. It is often done shortly after birth and may be repeated at intervals to monitor brain development and detect any changes over time.

Cranial ultrasound can detect various conditions in the newborn brain, including: • Intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding within the brain's ventricles) • Periventricular leukomalacia (softening of the white matter around the ventricles) • Hydrocephalus (accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain) • Brain cysts or tumors • Congenital brain anomalies

Cranial ultrasound is a modality of choice for neonatal brain scanning as the scalp bones are nonossified(soft) however it is limited by the fact that it provides a relatively superficial view of the brain compared to other imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans in adults. In newborns it can be used to detect and follow up for hydrocephalus and brain hemorrhage in preterm babies. It may not be as detailed or suitable for diagnosing certain complex brain conditions. In such cases, other imaging modalities may be necessary in adults.

A Cranial Ultrasound is usually a quick procedure and typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes to complete.

A Level 1 / NT/NB scan typically refers to a prenatal screening test performed during early pregnancy to assess the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. It is also known as a first-trimester screening or nuchal translucency (NT) scan combined with non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

The Level 1 / NT/NB scan is usually performed between 11 to 14 weeks of pregnancy, ideally at around 12 weeks. This timing is crucial as it allows for accurate measurements of the nuchal translucency and specific fetal markers for chromosomal abnormalities.

The Level 1 / NT/NB scan assesses the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities, particularly Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13). The scan involves measuring the nuchal translucency (fluid at the back of the baby's neck), and in combination with blood tests, it can provide an estimated risk of these conditions.

The scan is a combination of an ultrasound examination and a blood test. During the ultrasound, a technician measures the thickness of the fluid-filled space at the back of the baby's neck (nuchal translucency). Simultaneously, the mother's blood is taken to measure specific pregnancy hormones (PAPP-A and hCG). The results from the ultrasound and blood test are used to calculate the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

No, the Level 1 / NT/NB scan is not a diagnostic test. It is a screening test that provides an estimate of the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities. If the results indicate a higher risk, further diagnostic tests, such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, may be offered to confirm the presence of any genetic conditions.

While the Level 1 / NT/NB scan is a valuable screening tool, it is not foolproof. It can only estimate the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and cannot provide a definitive diagnosis. A positive result from the screening does not necessarily mean that the baby has a chromosomal abnormality, and a negative result does not guarantee the absence of abnormalities. Diagnostic tests are needed to confirm or rule out any genetic conditions.

The Level 1 / NT/NB scan is typically offered as an option to all pregnant women. However, it is not mandatory, and the decision to undergo the screening is entirely voluntary. Some expectant parents may choose to skip the screening or opt for alternative tests based on their individual circumstances and preferences.
