General Ultrasound Scan in KL & Selangor
What Is An Ultrasound Scan?
Ultrasound scanning uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of internal organs and tissues in a non-invasive and painless way. A transducer emits sound waves that generate images on a computer screen, providing valuable information about organ size, shape, and function, aside from identifying abnormalities or specific conditions.
For pregnant women, ultrasound scans are used to monitor the health and development of the fetus. These scans can help identify any potential issues or complications early on, allowing for timely interventions and management.
With clinics scattered across Kuala Lumpur (KL), Dr. Prevents offers comprehensive ultrasound services, including baby ultrasound scans, 2D/3D/4D scans, general ultrasound scans, and others.
