Ultrasound Scan
Ultrasound Scan
An Ultrasound Scan is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the inside of the body. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound does not use radiation, making it one of the safest imaging methods available. At WTC KL Mediclinic, we provide advanced ultrasound services to help detect, diagnose, and monitor a wide range of medical conditions with accuracy and comfort.
How Ultrasound Works
During an ultrasound, a handheld device called a transducer is placed on the skin. This device emits sound waves that bounce off internal organs, tissues, or blood flow. The echoes are then converted into live images on a monitor, allowing doctors to see what is happening inside your body.
The procedure is painless and quick, usually taking between 15 to 30 minutes depending on the type of scan. A special gel is applied to the skin to improve sound wave transmission and image clarity.
