ischemia. 3. Demonstration of ventriculomegaly,
congenital structural anomalies, intracranial vascular lesions. 4. Simple screening tool in the exclusion
of gross intracranial pathology.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Musculoskeletal
Ultrasound ? When?
1. Tendon tears or tendinitis of
the rotator cuff in the shoulder, Achilles tendon in the ankle and many other
tendons throughout the body. 2. Muscle tears, masses or fluid
collections. 3. Ligament sprains or tears. 4. Inflammation or fluid
(effusions) within the bursae and joints. 5. Early changes of rheumatoid
arthritis. 6. Nerve entrapments such as
carpal tunnel syndrome. 7. Benign and malignant soft
tissue tumors.

children. 13. Neck muscle abnormalities in
infants with torticollis (neck twisting). 14. Soft tissue masses
(lumps/bumps) in children.
Breast ultrasound
Ultrasonography is effective and sensitive
in the diagnosis of breast cancer. It is also effective in diagnosing benign
breast diseases in younger women with dense breast tissue. Ultrasound is
cheaper and safer than other imaging modality for screening and diagnosis. Breast cancer when diagnosed early is
curable.
Ultrasound in pregnancy
Ideally, 5 periodic scans must be done in
pregnancy. A dating scan ( before 8-9 weeks), NT scan ( 11- 14 weeks), Anomaly scan ( 18- 20 weeks) Growth scans at 28 and 34 weeks.
Number of scans may increase/ decrease as
per condition of the pregnant woman/ opinion of treating doctor.
NT Scan
Why should
I go for NT Scan?
A nuchal translucency scan (also called
first trimester of pregnancy screening) is carried out during weeks 11–13 of a
pregnancy.
The scan uses ultrasound to screen for Down syndrome, or other
chromosomal or inherited conditions in the foetus.
Anomaly Scan done
The mid-pregnancy anomaly scan is done for
checking any physical abnormalities in the growing baby. Although
it can’t pick up every problem, it gives the radiologist an idea about the
baby’s bones, heart, brain, spinal cord, face, kidneys and abdomen and allows
to identify the following conditions (some of which are very rare): • Anencephaly • Diaphragmatic hernia • Gastroschisis • Exomphalos • Open spina bifida • Bilateral renal agenesis • Lethal skeletal dysplasia • Edwards’ syndrome or T18 • Patau’s syndrome or T13 • Cleft lip • Serious cardiac abnormalities
