Ultrasound Boronia

Imaging Associates Boronia offers bulk billed ultrasound services, within a modern, comfortable and conveniently located clinic.

How does Ultrasound work?

Ultrasound utilises high-frequency inaudible sound waves to assess structures within the body.

• The sound waves are transmitted and received from a small, hand-held probe (transducer).
• The reflected waves, or echoes, are then displayed on a screen as a superb real-time image with diagnostic capabilities.

What are the primary uses and applications of an Ultrasound?

Our Boronia Clinic offers a range of Ultrasound services tailored to a wide range of medical conditions, including:

• General abdominal, pelvic, breast, renal and thyroid ultrasounds.
• Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasounds to assess acute and chronic conditions including tendon, muscle or ligament injuries, joint abnormalities and other underlying conditions.
• Gynaecological ultrasounds to assist in the diagnosis of female gynaecological conditions such as painful, heavy or irregular periods, ovarian cysts and endometriosis.
• Pregnancy (Obstetric) ultrasounds, including 3D/4D ultrasounds (pending system availability) for monitoring foetal development and morphology throughout your pregnancy
• Ultrasounds are also highly effective to guide pain relief injections and for taking specimen samples for tissue analysis known as either a biopsy or Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)

What are the advantages of Ultrasound Imaging?

• Ultrasound is a widely used imaging technology with no known harmful effects.
• It is a radiation free, cost-effective and generally non-invasive procedure that is typically well-tolerated by patients. Contraindications are extremely rare.
• Ultrasounds provide real-time imaging which enables immediate assessment of conditions during the examination.
• Ultrasound findings are communicated to referring doctors and healthcare providers without delay so that diagnosis and treatment can be delivered as soon as possible.
