Ultrasound Diagnostics (Ultrasound) in Kyiv: Accuracy and Safety at CSM Clinic

Ultrasound examination (sonography) is a key method of initial diagnosis. It allows you to look inside the body within minutes, without pain, incisions, or harmful radiation. At CSM Clinic in Kyiv, ultrasound is performed on modern scanners. The high resolution of our equipment may help detect minimal changes in the structure of organs, masses a few millimeters in size, and conditions at early stages, when they do not yet bother the patient. Our diagnostic doctors have many years of experience in clinical interpretation, which supports accurate reporting.

When Should You Book an Ultrasound?

The examination is ordered both when there are complaints and for prevention (check-up).

See a doctor if you are bothered by:

Pain or discomfort in the abdomen, lower back, or pelvis.

Enlarged lymph nodes or lumps under the skin.

A feeling of heaviness in the right upper abdomen, a bitter taste in the mouth.

Menstrual cycle disorders, breast pain.

Urination problems.

Leg swelling, enlarged veins.

Blood pressure fluctuations, headache, dizziness (for vascular ultrasound).

How to Prepare for the Procedure

Most examinations (thyroid, joints, heart, vessels) do not require preparation. However, for accurate results in some areas, certain rules should be followed:

Abdominal cavity: strictly on an empty stomach (no food or drink for 6-8 hours). Exclude gas-producing foods (legumes, raw vegetables, bread) 2-3 days before.

Kidneys and bladder: the examination is done with a full bladder (drink 0.5-1 L of water an hour before the visit).

Breasts: it is recommended to have the examination in the first phase of the cycle (days 5-10), unless the doctor advises otherwise.

Pelvic organs (in women): transabdominal - with a full bladder; transvaginal - no special preparation needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it harmful to have an ultrasound often?

No, that is a myth. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves, not ionizing radiation (like X-rays). The procedure is generally considered safe, including during pregnancy and for newborns; how often to repeat it is decided by the doctor.

Which gynecological ultrasound is better: internal or external?

A transvaginal (internal) examination is more informative because the probe is as close as possible to the organs being examined. This allows a better view of the structure of the ovaries and endometrium. However, girls who are not sexually active have only a transabdominal (external) examination.

What does "echogenicity" mean?

It is a term that describes tissue density. "Increased echogenicity" may indicate thickening or scarring, and "decreased" may indicate swelling or inflammation. Only a doctor can interpret these data, so do not diagnose yourself.

Does ultrasound show cancer?

Ultrasound can detect a mass (tumor, cyst, nodule) and assess its structure, blood supply, and contours. This allows the doctor to suspect a malignant process. However, the final diagnosis of "cancer" is made only after a biopsy and histological analysis.

How long does the procedure take?

A standard examination of one area takes 15-30 minutes. When it is finished, you immediately receive the examination report with the doctor's conclusion and images (if needed).
