MediZen’s Ultrasound technology includes top-of-the-line equipment with digital and 3D capabilities. With this technology, we can routinely see anatomy not seen with conventional ultrasound, resulting in faster exam times and more accurate diagnoses. This safe and painless procedure uses reflected sound waves to produce tissue and organ images. While ultrasound is most commonly used in pregnancy and to study the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid arota, leg veins and arteries, it is also used in vascular studies of the carotid arteries, providing early detection of the potential for a stroke.
