Small Part Sonography (Breast Sono-mammography, Thyroid, Scrotum, Appendix, Infant Brain sonography)

At Shree Shiv Digital X-ray & Sonography (Color Doppler) Clinic, we are proud to offer Small-part sonography is a specialized ultrasound imaging technique used to examine superficial structures and small organs in the body. It provides real-time imaging to aid in the diagnosis of various conditions. Below are key aspects of small-part sonography for different organs:

  1. Breast Sonography (Sono-mammography) Used to evaluate breast lumps, cysts, fibroadenomas, and tumors, Helps differentiate between solid and cystic lesions. Complementary to mammography, especially for dense breast tissue. Useful for guiding biopsies.

  2. Thyroid Sonography: Assesses thyroid nodules, goiter, and thyroiditis. Detects cysts, solid masses, and signs of malignancy. Helps in evaluating vascularity using Doppler imaging. Often used for ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA).

  3. Scrotal Sonography: Examines the testicles, epididymis, and scrotal sac. Diagnoses conditions like hydrocele, varicocele, testicular torsion, and tumors. Detects infections like epididymo-orchitis. Evaluates infertility-related abnormalities.

  4. Appendix Sonography: Used to detect acute appendicitis. Helps differentiate appendicitis from other causes of abdominal pain. Shows an enlarged, non-compressible appendix with increased vascularity. Often performed in pediatric patients to avoid radiation exposure from CT scans.

  5. Infant Brain Sonography (Cranial Ultrasound) :Performed through the fontanelles (soft spots) in infants. Assesses conditions like hydrocephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, and congenital anomalies. Helps evaluate preterm infants for periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and brain development issues. Non-invasive and preferred over CT/MRI in neonates.
