3D-4D Ultrasound

Mahajan Imaging & Labs is the leader in 3D-4D ultrasound

Mahajan Imaging & Labs has the unique capability to perform all routine and complex studies including FNAC’s, Ultrasound guided biopsies, Fibroscan with Shearwave Elastography, across our centres in an patient friendly and comfortable environment.

Ultrasound is the safest way to look inside the human body. It involves the use of high-frequency sound waves, which are harmless to the human body. Ultrasound scanning can help in almost any domain of disease identification. Ultrasound can be used to image many areas of the body including the pelvis and abdomen, the musculoskeletal system, the breast, the male reproductive system, the kidney, the thyroid, and salivary glands, the gall bladder, the pancreas and the developing foetus, liver, neck etc. Ultrasound is a valuable tool, and in the right hands, it can clear out most doubts related to the diagnostic queries that we are faced with.

Please note:

According to the PC-PNDT Act, performing a pregnancy ultrasound without a valid prescription and having the doctor’s DMC/HMC/MCI registration number, phone number and other details is forbidden.

General, Musculoskeletal and Vascular Ultrasound

Ultrasounds are simple, safe procedures that do not require the use of radiation to develop images of internal parts of the body. Ultrasounds can be used to examine many parts of the body, including the:

Blood vessels
Pelvis
Heart
Musculoskeletal system
Abdomen
Other soft tissue organs

Pregnancy Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a highly valuable diagnostic tool, and it is particularly useful during pregnancy because it is completely safe for you and your baby. Some of the useful indications for use during pregnancy include:

for dating purposes and to accurately determine your due date
to ascertain the number of babies present
to check for any bleeding early in the pregnancy
to check the position of the placenta
to assess the growth of the baby and its general well-being
to provide information about the anatomy of the baby and check for possible abnormalities*

*note all possible birth abnormalities are reliably diagnosed using ultrasound, and all scan results should be interpreted within the limitations of the test.

Shear Wave Fibrosis Scan

Shear Wave Elastography on Mahajan Imaging & Labs machines such as LOGIQ E9, Aplio i800, the most advanced machines globally, is the most advantageous technique for the non-invasive quantification of liver tissue stiffness.

Fibroscan (Liver Elastography)

Fibroscan is a non-invasive test that helps assess the health of your liver. Specifically, it uses ultrasound technology to determine the degree of fibrosis or scarring that may be present in your liver from various liver diseases or conditions. It is useful in patients with fatty liver in order to identify those with fibrosis who have progressive disease. It is also useful for the assessment of fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver due to any cause.

Fibrosis Scan of the Liver by Shear Wave Elastography with Ultrasound

Quantitative measurement of tissue stiffness
- Shear Wave speed (m/s)
- Young’s Modulus (kPa)
2D color-coded visualization of tissue stiffness
Image guidance with B-mode ultrasound images, which allows for:
- Instant visual quality assessment of spatial stiffness, useful for detection and characterization of focal lesions
- Better diagnostic interpretation with overlaying of shear wave stiffness images on the B-mode images
- Optimal placement of Regions of Interest (ROI) for quantitative stiffness measures
- Sampling within the ROI provides tissue stiffness measures at any location in the ROI, unlike conventional fibroscan which measures only the average stiffness within an ROI in a blind manner
Assessment and comparison of the degree of fibrosis in the same site of the liver on follow up imaging using this technique, which was not possible earlier.

Colour Doppler

Cutting Edge Technologies

Colour Doppler is a medical imaging technique utilized to offer visualization of the blood flow by using color processing to add color to the image so that a doctor can see what is happening inside the body.

A duplex ultrasound is a test to see how blood moves through your arteries and veins. The test combines traditional ultrasound with Doppler ultrasonography. Regular Ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off of blood vessels to create pictures. Doppler looks at how sound waves are reflected off from moving objects, such as blood.

There are different types of duplex ultrasound exams. Some include:

Arterial and venous duplex ultrasound of the abdomen examines blood vessels and blood flow in the abdominal area.
Carotid duplex ultrasound looks at the carotid artery in the neck.
Duplex ultrasound of the extremities looks at the arms or legs.
Renal duplex ultrasound examines the kidneys.

Why It Is Done

Detect blood clots and blocked or narrowed blood vessels in almost any part of the body, especially in the neck, arms, and legs.
Evaluate abnormal veins causing varicose veins or other problems.
Find out the amount of blood flow to a transplanted kidney or liver.
Monitor the flow of blood following blood vessel surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’S)

Why is an Ultrasound Doppler test performed?

At Mahajan Imaging & Labs, an Ultrasound Doppler examination is performed to study the blood flow through veins and arteries. This test uses sound waves to measure the direction and speed of blood flow which helps in diagnosing conditions like poor blood circulation, narrowed arteries, and blood clots.

How does a Doppler Ultrasound differ from a regular ultrasound?

A Doppler Ultrasound primarily measures the movement of blood through vessels by studying changes of frequency in the sound waves created by moving blood cells while a regular ultrasound measures sound waves to develop static images of tissues, structures and internal organs. A Doppler Ultrasound allows a real-time visualization of blood flow, unlike regular ultrasound.

How long does an Ultrasound Doppler test take?

Duration of an ultrasound Doppler test primarily depends on the type of scan. On average, each scan can take approx. 20 to 50 minutes.

When will I receive my ultrasound Doppler test results?

Results for ultrasound Doppler test typically become available on the same day. In a few cases, there could be a delay until the next day due to unforeseen circumstances.

Can an ultrasound Doppler test detect blood clots?

Yes, an ultrasound Doppler test can easily detect blood clots. This test is most commonly used to diagnose clot related conditions and deep vein thrombosis and offers real-time results and is non-invasive. The process is done by assessing blood flow and detecting any irregularities.

Is contrast dye required for a Doppler ultrasound?

The test uses sound waves to detect abnormalities and assess blood flow, such as narrowing of arteries and blood clots, without contrast. Hence, contrast dye is usually not required for a Doppler ultrasound.

How accurate is an ultrasound Doppler test?

The accuracy level of an ultrasound Doppler test depends on the quality of the equipment, patient's condition, and on the skill of the technician. In most cases, the test provides reliable results with detecting conditions like narrowed arteries, venous insufficiency, and blood clots.

Will I need to follow any special instructions after the test?

One can resume normal activities as no special instructions are needed after a Doppler ultrasound scanning. Under any follow-up plan, you may be required to consult your healthcare provider.
