Ultrasound Technology in Dubai

The procedure of ultrasound was first discovered in the 1800s, however, its practical usage was not allowed until 1950s. Hence, nowadays, ultrasonic tests are widely used in all over the world for different purposes. Most of the times, this technique is used as a diagnostic tool during pregnancy. So, it is considered as one of the most important parts of the gynaecology. High-frequency sound waves are utilized to generate the images of the specific structures within the human body. In the start, the 2D technology was used to detect the problem and for its diagnosis. Hence, with the passage of time, the advancements have made it possible to get the diagnosis by using 3D and 4D imaging. As a whole, an ultrasound is utilized to:

  • Check the inner body and condition of the baby of a woman during pregnancy.
  • Assess the fetus of a woman.
  • Check a thyroid gland.
  • Diagnose kidney stone or any other problem with your body.
  • Diagnose gallbladder disease.
  • Demonstrate the prostate and genital abnormalities.

However, when ultrasound is conducted in a gynecology department, then its function is to check the position, health, and other aspects of the baby. Furthermore, the 2D technology is used to provide two dimensions of the imaging. While the use of 3D technology is used, it reveals same images in 3 dimensions that are clearer and prominent than 2D. In addition to it, 4D technology makes it clearer than all. Furthermore, it makes the patients able to see the images in motion. Even, in later stages of their pregnancy, they may see their child’s movements such as smile and yawn. The ultrasonic technique also helps in assessing if the child is going through any kind of abnormality and the planning is made to treat it.

How to prepare?

When your doctor suggests you an ultrasound then you are also instructed to follow a proper plan so that you can prepare your body for the ultrasound. The preparation really impacts the results so you need to follow the instructions carefully.

  •  If your baby is waking at the time of ultrasound then you may get best results. However, it becomes difficult to figure out the sleeping pattern of your baby. Hence, you may notice the time of the day when your baby moves more. Our practitioner will guide you regarding this assessment, as well.
  • Drinking plenty of water before getting an ultrasound is a must. The experts and practitioners report that more water help to get better imaging in all kind of ultrasounds whether it’s 2D, 3D, or 4D.

Furthermore, 3D and 4D technology allow detecting if the baby is developing any kind of disease or there are birth defects, hence 2D ultrasound doesn’t have the capability to detect these issues. the purpose of these ultrasonic images is to check the health of the child and mother and to see the development. The main concern is to check the medical condition of the patient. Unfortunately, some of the people want to use its report negatively and want to keep the film with them that is not allowed. You may discuss the risks and concerns with your doctor before getting the procedure.

It is quite easy to perform the procedure but it can be performed only by a certified practitioner or the doctor who has got its training during the course. After preparation, the mother or the patient is asked to lie down on a medical seat and expose their stomach. A specific kind of gen is applied to the targeted area (belly). The purpose of this gel is to generate images effectively. In the next step, a probe (a specific device for investigation) is placed on the stomach and moved to the area to get different images from different angles. You need to know the fact that it is optional whether you want to get 2D, 3D, or 4D ultrasound. It’s all about what kind of results you need. You may also discuss this aspect with your doctor to make a better decision.
