Safe and precise diagnostics with state-of-the-art equipment
Sonography (ultrasound, US) is a non-invasive diagnostic examination using high-frequency sound waves to visualize internal organs and tissues in real-time. It is one of the most commonly used imaging methods in medicine.
Sonography is completely safe, painless, radiation-free, and can be repeated without restrictions. Suitable for all age groups including pregnant women.
No radiation (unlike X-ray or CT), suitable for pregnant women and children
Real-time imaging, the doctor informs you of findings immediately after the examination
No injections, contrast agents, or painful procedures
Excellent visualization of soft tissues, vessels, and blood flow (Doppler)
You can have unlimited examinations without health risks
Affordable, most examinations covered by insurance
We offer a comprehensive range of sonographic examinations:
What we examine:
Preparation: Fasting 6 hours, full bladder
Duration: 15-20 minutes
What we examine:
Indications: Palpable nodules, thyroid function disorders, monitoring of known nodules, family history of thyroid disease
Preparation: None
Duration: 10-15 minutes
What we examine:
Complementary method to mammography - ultrasound better visualizes dense breast tissue (younger women)
Preparation: None. Best during first half of cycle (days 5-12)
Duration: 15-20 minutes
Carotid arteries (neck arteries):
Lower limb veins:
Preparation: None
Duration: 20-30 minutes
What we examine:
Indications: Shortness of breath, chest pain, murmurs, hypertension, arrhythmias
Preparation: None
Duration: 30-45 minutes
Transabdominal approach: Through abdominal wall (full bladder)
Transrectal approach (TRUS): More precise imaging through rectum
What we examine:
Preparation: Full bladder (transabdominal), bowel cleansing (TRUS)
Transabdominal or transvaginal

Advantage: Dynamic examination during movement
Depends on the type of examination:
You lie down on the examination table. You expose the relevant area (abdomen, neck, etc.).
The doctor applies water-based ultrasound gel to the skin. The gel ensures good contact between the probe and skin and better transmission of sound waves. It's cold but harmless.
The doctor moves the ultrasound probe over the examined area. Organs are visible in real-time on the monitor. You may be asked to hold your breath or change position.
Sensations: Gentle probe pressure, otherwise painless. With a full bladder, you may feel pressure.
The doctor explains findings immediately after the examination. You receive a written report with description and conclusion. If needed, you'll get images or CD.
The gel is wiped off with paper towel. You can get dressed immediately and leave. No restrictions after the examination.
Yes, ultrasound is completely safe. It doesn't use ionizing radiation (unlike X-ray or CT). It has been used for decades without any known harmful effects, even during pregnancy.
No, ultrasound is completely painless. You only feel gentle probe pressure. With a full bladder, it may be slightly uncomfortable but not painful.
Depends on type: 10-15 minutes (thyroid) to 45 minutes (echocardiography). Most examinations take 15-30 minutes.
Food and gas in the digestive tract impair organ visualization (shadowing). Fasting provides the best visualization of liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
Yes, but for gynecological examination, the first half of the cycle (days 5-12) is better for optimal visualization of endometrium and ovaries.
Immediately! The doctor explains findings right after the examination and you receive a written report.
The doctor will recommend further examinations (CT, MRI, biopsy) or refer you to a specialist. Our clinic has comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.
Most sonographic examinations are covered by health insurance when indicated by a doctor (you need a referral from your GP). Preventive/check-up examinations without indication are self-pay (€40-80 depending on type).
