Usually, a specially trained ultrasound technician (called a sonographer) will carry out your scan, but the image and results will be interpreted by your doctor or a radiologist

On the other hand, CT scans use X-rays to create a detailed image of the inside of the body. There is a very small risk associated with the X-ray radiation that you are exposed to in a CT scan. However, CT scanners are specially designed to ensure that you’re not exposed to unnecessarily high levels of radiation, and they are generally very safe.

Ultrasounds are generally painless and don’t cause side effects. They are typically slightly longer than CT scans — a routine ultrasound can last any time from 15 minutes to one hour.

As the world’s leading health assessment provider Echelon Health believes that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to health. We do our best to equip you with the best understanding of your health. We have several different packages that would provide information about your area of concern.

These echoes are then picked back up by the probe and used to form a picture on a monitor. It’s a similar technology to that used by sonar and radar, which we use to detect objects like planes in the sky or ships out to sea.

The high-frequency sound waves that an ultrasound scan uses pass through fluids and soft tissues in the body and bounce back off denser tissues. This allows your doctor or a medical specialist to take a closer look at organs, tissues and body vessels to identify any conditions or abnormalities — all without needing to make an incision.

Many people who hear the word ‘ultrasound’ will probably associate them with pregnancy scans, but this particular type of test can be used for much more than that.

This list isn’t definitive; ultrasound scans can be used to detect and diagnose a range of conditions related to your tissues or organs in the body.

Ultrasound partsand functions

An ultrasound scan — also known as a sonogram — is a medical test that uses sound waves to create a live image of part of the inside of the body.

An ultrasound can pick up all of the above organs and body parts, and therefore be used to diagnose a wide variety of issues or conditions in these areas.

Ultrasounds are a multifunctional tool used to diagnose a number of conditions, spanning across a range of locations throughout the body. Here are some of the different locations and parts of the body that an ultrasound can be performed on:

These high-quality images and results are then analysed by our select team of internationally renowned specialists, who will then provide an in-depth health report and advise on the results and treatment that may be needed.

Unlike other imaging techniques such as X-rays or CT scans, ultrasounds don’t use any radiation and are very low-risk. This is why we use this type of scan to monitor an unborn baby during pregnancy.

Our Core Cancer package aims to detect cancers at their earliest possible stages. It detects several cancers including leukaemia, breast, prostate, colon, liver cancer and more. Here is what is included in our Core Cancer assessment:

If it is complete peace of mind that you are after, our Platinum Assessment is one of the most comprehensive in the world and looks at your body head-to-toe. Using fully comprehensive blood tests in combination with the most advanced imaging technology through CT, MRI and ultrasound scans, we are able to detect up to 92% and 95% of the causes of premature death among men and women respectively. The following scans are part of the Platinum Assessment:

Ultrasound scans use a small device called an ultrasound probe to give off high-frequency sound waves. You can’t hear these sound waves because they are too high-pitched, but when they bounce off different parts of the body they create an ‘echo’; in the same way bats and dolphins use echolocation to hunt and move in pitch darkness.

At Echelon Health, we recognise that there isn’t just one type of scan that can be used to detect all health conditions or diseases, which is why we use multiple imaging technologies, which includes Ultrasound, CT, MRI and a comprehensive set of blood tests to carry out our health assessments and ensure our clients are receiving the gold standard when it comes to assessing organs of the bod and detecting diseases at their earliest stage.

Ultrasounds don’t work on every part of the body; sound waves don’t transmit well through air or dense bone, so they aren’t effective at imaging body parts that hold gas (such as the bowel) or are hidden by bone (such as the head).

At Echelon Health, we use ultrasounds to detect a range of different health issues. But just what can an ultrasound detect?

Ultrasounds are very low risk because they don’t involve exposure to radiation. There are no known risks from the high-frequency sound waves used in an ultrasound.

If you’re thinking about getting an ultrasound as a part of a preventative healthcare screening or as part of one of our health assessment packages, you may want some more information on how they work and why they are important.

Ultrasounds can help doctors and specialists to detect conditions and problems that might not necessarily show up on X-rays or other types of scans. They can also help to pinpoint the location of the issue — such as where a tumour or cyst is — and guide instruments during biopsies (which is when a small amount of tissue or fluid is removed from the body to be studied).
