Sonography Scan in Nepal

What Is Sonography?

Sonography is a smart and safe way to see everything that is happening inside your body. It doesn’t involve the use of any radiation or cause any discomfort. Unlike X-rays, it involves the use of sound waves, which are harmless and can create real-time images of your organs. The technician will use a transducer and move it over your skin. This small device sends sound waves bouncing back to form detailed visuals.

Types of Sonography

Different types of scans serve different purposes. Here is a quick look at the most common types of sonography:

1. Prenatal / Fetal Sonography (2D, 4D, Anomaly Scans)

   Expecting a baby? A prenatal/fetal sonography can be used to ensure that you have a healthy pregnancy. It tracks the growth of your baby and helps in spotting any birth defects. Through 2D scans, you can get a clear, black and white image of the fetus. 4D scans let you see how your baby is moving in real time. One of the most important prenatal scans is the anomaly scan, which is usually done between weeks 18 and 22. This is used to check if there are any structural issues.

2. Pelvic / Gynaecological Sonography (Transvaginal)

   A pelvic/gynaecological sonography helps get a closer look at your bladder, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes and can be used for early pregnancy confirmation, cycle monitoring or fertility checks. In a transvaginal ultrasound, the technician will insert a small probe into your vagina to get a clearer view for gynaecological assessments.

3. Thyroid, Breast & Neck Sonography

   For a lump or any unexplained swelling, you need targeted scans of your thyroid gland, neck lymph nodes, or breast tissue. These scans play a pivotal role in diagnosing hormonal issues as well as early detection of cancer.

4. Doppler & TMSK (Vascular, Joints, Muscles)

   These specialised scans check the blood flow and musculoskeletal system of your body. Doppler sonography is the one that tracks the movement of blood through your veins and arteries and helps find any clots or blockages. TMSK (Trans-Musculoskeletal) ultrasound checks your muscles, joints, and ligaments. This is an ideal option for those who are dealing with chronic pain or just recovering from an injury.

5. Portable Sonography (e.g. Home Visits)

   If you are not able to visit the clinic, you can still get an ultrasound through a portable ultrasound machine. This is a great option for elderly patients, those on strict bed rest, and emergency needs.

Preparation Tips for Sonography Test

In order to get clear, accurate results, you need to do a little prep before your sonography test. Here are a few tips to remember:

• Abdominal Scans: For the abdominal scans, you should not eat anything for 6 to 8 hours before your scan. This reduces gas and gives a clearer picture of your organs.
• Pelvic Scans: For pelvic scans, hydration is key. Drink at least 2-3 glasses of water an hour before your scan and don’t urinate. A full bladder improves the image quality.
• Dress Smart: Wear loose, comfy clothes so that the radiologist can easily access the scan area. Depending on the scan, you might also have to change into a gown.
• Arrive a Bit Early: Reach the clinic at least 15 minutes ahead of your appointment and bring any prescriptions or previous reports.
• Follow Safety Guidelines: Please follow all the safety and hygiene protocols advised by the clinic.
