Welcome to MRC Website

All types of ultrasound examinations are been performed including interventional procedures; and this section is one of the strengths of the center.

What is ultrasonography?
Ultrasound pictures show the organs inside the body. Where X-ray pictures show bony skeleton, ultrasound pictures show soft-tissue organs such as the liver, kidneys and the gall bladder. (Ultrasound is a common exam performed for follow of pregnant females).

Warm gel (jelly) is used to eliminate the air between the skin and the transducer (a microphone-shaped object instrument) which is moved painlessly over skin. Ultrasound provides your doctor with valuable information about your internal anatomy.

Who does the ultrasound equipment look like?
The ultrasound machine is made up of computers with handheld instruments called transducers. A transducer looks like a wand or microphone. This wand will give a picture on the computer screen.

Who performs the exam?
A highly trained sonologist, usually a university professor, will perform the ultrasound examinations.

Are there any risks?
An ultrasound examination is a safe procedure since it does not involve the use of X-ray; no radiation is involved.

What happens after the test?
The doctor or nurse will give you all informations you need and will tell you when you may leave and come back to ask for your results.

Here are some exams performed in the center:

	Abdominal
	Pelvic
	Obstetrics
	Transrectal
	Brain
	Scrotal
	Neck

	Folliculometry
	Trans-vaginal
	Knee
	Musculo-skeletal
	Shoulder
	Orbit
	Breast



	B-mode study with internal and external artery stenosis by soft tissue plaques.

Specialized OB/GYN ultrasound Unit (New Arrivals)
Runed by very specialized team under supervision of the expert professor used to deal with.The unit is equipped with advanced ultrasound machines with 3D capability and ultrasound guided interventional set, a foetal cardiography unit (C.T.G.) and video recording.

List of available studies:

	Gynecological pelvic study.
	Folliculometry.
	Duplex Doppler and color flow imaging for gynecological problems.
	Detailed obstetric scan.
	Duplex Doppler and color flow imaging for obstetrics.
	Fetal well being including biophysical profile, CTG and Doppler.
	3D study for obstetrics and gynecology.
	Amniocentesis whether diagnostic or therapeutic.
	Cyst aspiration.
	Fetal decompression.
	Guided biopsy.
	Ultrasound guided obstetrics and gynecology interventions.

Ultrasound continues to make important and significant contributes to patient enhancing their quality of life; and volume acquisition by 3D technique is even enhancing its ability more and more; and that is why we announce the start of our 3D unit at Misr Radiology Center with the following available services and techniques:

	Surface rendering.
	Volume rendering.
	Multiplanar reformation.
	Panoramic extended study.
	Opacity, transparency and bone X-ray views.

These 3D techniques can be used in different parts of the body life:

	Obstetrics.
	Gynecology.
	Genitourinary e.g. kidney and bladder.
	Abdomen e.g. liver masses and vascular flow.
	Small parts e.g. testis and blood flow.
	Breast.
	Vascular system.
