Our services

We offer a comprehensive range of ultrasound services at our Warragul clinic. All ultrasound procedures are performed by expert sonographers, using the latest technology to provide accurate and timely imaging for our patients. Whether you require general ultrasounds, obstetric ultrasounds, or specialised exams such as fibroscans, we are dedicated to delivering the very best healthcare experience, tailored to your individual needs.

What is an ultrasound?

Ultrasound machines direct high-frequency sound waves at the part of the body being examined. The sound waves are emitted and received from a small, hand-held probe. The reflected sounds, or echoes, are then recorded to create a clear image that can be seen on a monitor. The procedure is safe, generally non-invasive and painless.

Primary uses and applications of ultrasound

Ultrasound technology can be used for a wide range of medical conditions, including:

• General abdominal, renal and thyroid ultrasounds
• Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasounds to assess tendon tears, degeneration, and acute disease diagnosis and treatment
• Gyneacological ultrasounds to diagnose conditions such as ovarian cysts and endometriosis
• Obstetric ultrasounds, including 3D ultrasounds for monitoring foetal development and morphology throughout your pregnancy.
• Fibroscans (elastography) for evaluating liver fibrosis and fatty liver condition (hepatosteatosis)

Advantages of ultrasound imaging

The benefits of using ultrasound technology over other imaging modalities, include:

• Accessibility: Ultrasounds are readily available and can be performed quickly.
• Non-ionizing radiation: Ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safe procedure for all patients.
• Non-invasiveness: Ultrasound imaging is generally non-invasive, has no significant contraindications and is well tolerated by patients.
• Real-time imaging: Enables immediate assessment of conditions during the examination. Ultrasound findings are communicated to patients and their healthcare providers without delay so that diagnosis and treatment is delivered as soon as possible.
