Ultrasound imaging is a useful way of evaluating many superficial organs of the body such as the thyroid gland, the salivary glands, the eye, breast, scrotum and testes.

• Thyroid ultrasound is used for diagnosing suspected thyroid disease. The ultrasound can establish if the thyroid gland is enlarged, has solid or fluid filled nodules as well as determine its vascularity.
  
  
• Testicular ultrasound is the primary imaging method used to evaluate problems of the testicles and surrounding tissues. Indications for an ultrasound scan include pain or lumps in the scrotum, testicular torsion (twisted testis), an absent or undescended testicle, fluid collection, or abnormal collection of blood vessels.
  
  
• Breast ultrasound is used as a primary examination in young females who present with breast lumps to differentiate between a solid and fluid filled lump. Generally it is a supplementary investigation to mammography to further clarify the nature of lumps seen on mammogram. Ultrasound is also used as a guide for needle placement to aspirate cysts or direct biopsies
  
  
• Orbital ultrasound is also a useful method to detect eye abnormalities. These include locating foreign bodies, the eyeball and its contents, and the retina.
  
  
• Salivary gland ultrasound is helpful in determining the nature of lumps in the glands, as well as detecting stones in the ducts.
  
  
• NB: Patients Must Bring Old X-Rays and scans for all procedures!
