Philips Premium Ultrasound
EPIQ
Ultrasound examines abnormalities in real time, so the skill of the person performing it matters greatly. At Prime Radiology, your ultrasound is performed not by a sonographer but by our Medical Director — a radiologist and former university hospital professor — using the latest high-resolution ultrasound system to examine many areas of the body in detail, including the abdomen, thyroid, breast and heart. Ultrasound involves no radiation and is simple and quick, so it is easy on patients. And because your condition is checked in real time during the scan, the doctor can pinpoint lesions and areas of discomfort accurately and explain the diagnosis and results right away.
Using the same ultrasound systems as university hospitals,
a former university hospital professor and radiologist performs your scan in person.
Benefits of Ultrasound
Ultrasound gives a clear, real-time view inside the body without radiation,
safely and quickly diagnosing problems in organs, blood vessels and muscles — with no pain or discomfort.
Safe
No radiation exposure, so it is safe even for pregnant women and children.
Real-Time View of Lesions
Real-time imaging shows organ movement and blood flow instantly.
Same-Day Exam
No special preparation needed — you can be scanned right away.
Painless Exam
A non-invasive exam that is easy on you and causes no pain.
