My second post as blogger

Hi,
Do you know what is ultrasound examination? 

Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.
It is helpful in detecting  or diagnosing an illness, for example  to find  causes of pain, swelling and infection in the body’s internal organs .
Most in Klinik Kesihatan ( KK) , doctor uses ultrasound  to examine a baby in pregnant women .
It’s also used to help guide biopsies and for echo cardiogram.

Ultrasound is safe, noninvasive, and does not use ionizing radiation.


This procedure requires little to no special preparation. Your doctor will instruct you on how to prepare, including whether you should refrain from eating or drinking beforehand.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing.As for ladies, please wear pants rather than long dresses as for ultrasound abdomen, you need to expose your tummy..

In Malaysia hospital setting, ultrasound examination is mostly done by experienced doctor . 
Appointment needed to be taken from the imaging department after  request for ultrasound has been made by various other department example medical, surgical , orthopedic department.
