Advanced Ultrasound Imaging
A noninvasive way for doctors to see inside the body.
Accurate Diagnosis with no Radiation
Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive way for doctors to see inside the body and make an accurate diagnosis without the use of radiation. In addition to standard ultrasound exams that include Doppler or 3D imaging, we are the only Delaware provider that offers a full range of advanced, cutting-edge technologies capable of providing enhanced views of targeted areas.
Our advanced technologies include:
Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS)
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound uses a contrast agent to improve the quality and reliability of ultrasound scans. CEUS is recommended when a more advanced image is needed to detect possible lesions or abnormalities of the liver and kidney. This technology is currently being investigated in other areas of the body, including the pelvis.
Better Imaging
CEUS can provide a more accurate image compared to traditional ultrasound technologies. This is made possible through the use of tiny microbubbles, which are introduced to the body through an intravenous injection. As they move through the bloodstream, the microbubbles change shape and respond to ultrasound probe soundwaves,making a better image possible.
A Safe Option for Patients Many patients cannot undergo traditional MRI or CT scan procedures due to allergies to contrast dyes, kidney function, pacemakers or a fear of enclosed spaces.
Liver Shear Wave Elastography and FibroScan®
Patients with liver disease, such as Hepatitis C (HEPC), Hepatitis B, fatty liver and HEPC/HIV may benefit from elastography of the liver in conjunction with their standard ultrasound. Liver elastography is a well-studied, noninvasive technique that can show if the liver is soft or hard, which allows our radiologist to determine the severity of disease or level of fibrosis and potentially avoid a liver biopsy.
Saline Infusion Sonohysterography
Patients with liver disease, such as Hepatitis C (HEPC), Hepatitis B, fatty liver and HEPC/HIV may benefit from elastography of the liver in conjunction with their standard ultrasound. Liver elastography is a well-studied, noninvasive technique that can show if the liver is soft or hard, which allows our radiologist to determine the severity of disease or level of fibrosis and potentially avoid a liver biopsy.
Expertise in Musculoskeletal Ultrasounds
Ultrasound images of the musculoskeletal system provide diagnostic images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and soft tissues throughout the body. Compared to the MRI, ultrasounds often provide greater internal detail when assessing soft tissue structures and their movement.
A musculoskeletal ultrasound is an option to diagnose a wide range of conditions including:
