ULTRASOUND

The importance of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool today has become invaluable to both patients and physicians. Its safety and pliability have helped make it one of the most widely used systems of investigation in clinical settings today: indeed, there is ample evidence that the ultrasound used in the process has no invasive effect on the person. Not to mention that really anyone can undergo the examination: including the elderly, pregnant women and children.

The ultrasound service is central to the offer of Villa Regina Private Hospital, where it is used both to reveal and identify possible lesions and to define their characterization. At the center it is possible to perform: abdominal, neonatal, breast, pelvic, prostate and scrotal ultrasound scans.

With a view to continually improving the quality of service provided by the diagnostic imaging department of Villa Regina Private Hospital, a state-of-the-art, high-performance APLIO I-600 ultrasound scanner has been introduced, giving the center an even higher degree of specialization for the diagnosis of a broad spectrum of chronic and inflammatory diseases. The accurate detection and characterization of lesions that the equipment enables help optimize the clinical course of patients, who get a faster and more reliable diagnostic response. In fact, the high level of vascular visualization of SMI (Superb Microvascular Imaging) also improves diagnostic confidence in the evaluation of lesions, cysts, and tumors.
