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.

How long does an ultrasound examination take?
Most ultrasound examinations take between 15-45 minutes depending on the type and complexity of the scan. Simple studies like thyroid ultrasounds may take 15 minutes, while comprehensive abdominal scans may require 30-45 minutes for thorough evaluation.
When will I get my ultrasound results?
Preliminary results are often available immediately after your scan. Complete written reports are typically available within 24 hours and are sent directly to your referring physician. We can also provide you with copies of your images on CD or digitally.
Do I need to prepare for my ultrasound?

What's the difference between 2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasound?
2D ultrasound provides flat, cross-sectional images – the standard for medical diagnosis. 3D ultrasound creates three-dimensional images showing depth and detail. 4D ultrasound adds the element of time, showing real-time movement. 3D/4D are often used for pregnancy keepsake images.
How accurate is ultrasound for detecting medical conditions?
Modern ultrasound is highly accurate for detecting many conditions. For pregnancy monitoring, it’s over 99% accurate for dating and fetal assessment. For detecting gallstones, kidney stones, and abdominal masses, accuracy ranges from 85-98%. The accuracy depends on the specific condition, patient factors, and the skill of the sonographer performing the exam.
Can I bring family members to my ultrasound?
Yes, family members are welcome to accompany you, especially for pregnancy ultrasounds. We have comfortable viewing areas in our examination rooms. For certain medical ultrasounds, we may limit the number of observers to maintain a professional environment.
