Imaging Diagnostics as a Key Element of Modern Medicine
Imaging diagnostics allows for the precise examination of the body’s internal structures. By offering unprecedented insight into the human body, imaging tests have become an indispensable tool in diagnosing and treating various ailments. One of the most frequently performed imaging tests is ultrasonography. An ultrasound examination in London provides images of the patient’s tissues and organs using sound waves. This method is non-invasive and painless, and in many cases, crucial for an accurate diagnosis.
Ultrasonography – A Safe Imaging Test
Ultrasound examinations can be repeated multiple times because they are non-invasive and painless. High-frequency acoustic waves, ranging from 1 to 10 MHz, are used to image the interior of the human body. These waves, which are inaudible to the human ear, penetrate the body and propagate without damaging cells. Each organ reflects ultrasound waves differently, allowing for the recognition of its structure. An ultrasound exam displays the shape and size of individual organs and can detect abnormalities such as thickening or nodules.
The main advantages of ultrasonography include easy accessibility, non-invasiveness, painlessness, rapid diagnosis, the ability to be repeated multiple times without the risk of health complications, and low cost compared to other imaging tests. Ultrasound examinations can be performed on individuals of all ages, including pregnant women and infants.

How to Prepare for an Ultrasound Examination?
Preparation for an ultrasound exam depends on the area of the body being examined. Ultrasound tests for the thyroid, breasts, or hip joints do not require special preparation. However, before an abdominal ultrasound, several guidelines must be followed:
- Fasting: Consume your last meal no more than 4 hours before the appointment (the meal should not be heavy).
- Diet: It is best to follow a light diet on the day preceding the examination.
- Avoid Certain Substances: Refrain from drinking carbonated beverages, smoking, and chewing gum 2 hours before the exam.
- Full Bladder: Ensure your bladder is full by drinking 2-3 glasses of non-carbonated water.
FastMedica Clinic in London guarantees that if patients adhere to these recommendations, the ultrasound examination will be conducted smoothly and provide a wealth of essential information.
We encourage you to schedule an ultrasound examination at our clinic.
