Diagnostic Ultrasound Examinations

A healthcare professional may recommend ultrasound examinations when additional information is needed to assess a patient’s symptoms or medical condition. Depending on the clinical need, an examination may be used to visualise selected organs and structures within the body.

The healthcare professional determines the appropriate type of ultrasound based on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and clinical assessment.

Pregnancy-Related Ultrasound

Ultrasound can play an important role in pregnancy care. Where clinically indicated, pregnancy-related ultrasound examinations may help healthcare professionals assess the developing pregnancy and obtain information relevant to maternal and fetal care.

Expectant mothers are advised to follow the recommendations of their healthcare professionals regarding the timing and type of ultrasound examination required during pregnancy.

Supporting Diagnosis and Treatment

Ultrasound findings can provide valuable information that complements a patient’s medical history, physical examination, and laboratory investigations. Healthcare professionals may use the results alongside other clinical information to support diagnosis and determine appropriate management.

Where further investigation or specialist assessment is required, patients may be guided on the appropriate next steps.

Non-Invasive Imaging

Ultrasound is generally a non-invasive examination and does not require surgical intervention. During the examination, a trained healthcare professional uses an ultrasound transducer to obtain images of the area being assessed.

Patients may receive instructions before an examination depending on the type of ultrasound being performed.
