What is an Ultrasound scan?
Ultrasound in Lahore is an imaging technique that uses harmless, high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues. This test generally forms a real-time video on the scanner’s screen. This real-time projection is incredibly effective and widely utilised for a variety of medical issues. Ultrasound particularly uses sound waves, unlike X-rays, which rely on radiation.
Ultrasound scans are chiefly safe for children and pregnant women. These scans are a regular test for pregnant women to monitor the growing fetus’s and the mother’s health.
Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that the fetus is developing normally and without complications. An Ultrasound is also performed to check the position of the placenta. This scan detects tumours, cancer, stones, narrowing of arteries, and any particular infection.
During an Ultrasound scan, the radiologist applies a cool, thin gel layer on the organ’s surface that needs examination. This gel further facilitates the transfer of sound waves from the transducer into the patient’s body. These sound waves particularly touch the structures or internal organs of the body and bounce back to the transducer.
These bounced waves then create an electric signal that the Ultrasound scan machine reads, and a real-time video is formed on the digital screen. Lastly, radiologists detect the problem through the screen images.
Ultrasound at Al-Nasar Lab & Diagnostic Centre
Al-Nasar Lab & Diagnostic Centre uses modern General Electric (GE) and TOSHIBA (CANON) machines. We have specifically ensured the availability of doctors in the Ultrasound Department throughout working hours. For the comfort and convenience of female patients, experienced female radiologists with F.C.P.S. qualifications are always available. Our lab also has Colour Doppler Ultrasound technology and the latest applications, like shear wave and SMI (Superb Microvascular Images).
Colour Doppler is routinely performed at our facility and is commonly used for vascular studies of the limbs, carotid arteries, portal vein thrombosis, renal artery assessment, varicocele detection, fistula evaluation, and monitoring intrauterine growth retardation in fetuses.
We also offer advanced ultrasound imaging for the brain (cranial), breast, musculoskeletal system, and other soft tissues. Additionally, our highly qualified radiology professionals perform ultrasound-guided procedures such as fine needle aspiration (FNA) and fluid aspiration from ascitic or pleural cavities with precision and care.
The Procedure of Ultrasound
Patients generally need to have a full bladder for the Ultrasound of the pelvic regions. Radiologists usually advise not eating or drinking before the scan for abdominal Ultrasounds.
- During an ultrasound scan, you will be asked to lie down on an examination couch next to the ultrasound equipment. Depending on the area being checked, you may be requested to lie flat or sit in a certain position to obtain clear images.
- Our qualified radiologist will apply a special transparent gel to your skin over the area under examination.
- After that, the radiologist will gently move a handheld device called a probe over the gelled area. You might feel mild pressure, but the procedure is generally painless. Let the radiologist know if you feel any discomfort.
- For certain scans, such as abdominal ultrasounds, you may be asked to empty your bladder mid-procedure to improve visibility. If needed, the radiologist will guide you through this.
- The scan results appear on a screen in real-time, allowing the radiologist to capture detailed internal images. Most ultrasound scans take between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being scanned.
- Once the scan is complete, the gel will be wiped off, and you are free to go. You can return to your regular activities immediately.

Ultrasounds we specialize in / Types of Ultrasound
Al-Nasar Lab & Diagnostic Centre specializes in the following types of Ultrasound in Lahore.
Abdominal Ultrasound
This test involves using the latest colour Doppler technology to monitor blood flow in abdominal vessels (e.g., the aorta and renal arteries).
Pelvic Ultrasound
This Ultrasound scan generally involves screening the pelvic region to diagnose any clinical condition. Moreover, colour Doppler technology is sometimes used for this test to investigate uterine or ovarian blood flow.
Obstetric Ultrasound
This Ultrasound scan is done for pregnant women. It particularly employs Doppler Ultrasound technology to assess fetal blood flow and umbilical cord circulation.
Transvaginal Ultrasound
This Ultrasound scan examines female pelvic organs, including the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
Cardiac Ultrasound (echocardiogram)
This scan particularly monitors the function of the heart’s chambers and valves.
Renal Ultrasound
The renal Ultrasound scan uses Doppler technology to monitor renal artery stenosis or blood flow to the kidneys.
Thyroid Ultrasound
The thyroid Ultrasound scan generally detects blood flow in nodules or inflammation. It also uses Doppler technology.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
This Ultrasound particularly monitors and detects any inflammation or vascular injuries.
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
This Ultrasound is a vascular imaging technique. This Ultrasound scan especially visualises blood vessels and their interiors.
3D Ultrasound
This Ultrasound scan is often employed during pregnancy. It also develops a three-dimensional image of the baby, creating a more realistic representation.
4D Ultrasound
A 4D Ultrasound scan particularly produces moving images of the baby in real-time. Parents can generally see the baby’s movements, facial features, and eye movements.
Colour Doppler Ultrasound
Colour Doppler Ultrasound particularly visualises blood flow in vessels in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can Ultrasound specifically detect blood clots or blockages?
Indeed, ultrasonography specifically detects arterial blockages or blood clots.
Which conditions can Ultrasound particularly diagnose?
Ultrasound chiefly detects the main conditions like gallstones, kidney stones, tumours, malignancies, and artery constriction and blockage. It is also a standard test to monitor fetus growth throughout pregnancy.
What is generally the duration of an Ultrasound scan?
Generally, Ultrasound scans take 20 to 30 minutes.
Does a pelvic Ultrasound generally require me to drink water beforehand?
You should drink water beforehand, as a full bladder is generally necessary for a pelvic Ultrasound.
What is a Doppler Ultrasound?
Doppler ultrasonography, in particular, is a precise imaging technology for visualising and tracking blood flow inside blood arteries. This Ultrasound scan specifically investigates blood flow at the neck, abdomen, heart, arms, and legs.
How soon will I get my results?
You may receive the results of your ultrasound scan at the end of your appointment.
Are there any risks or side effects after an Ultrasound scan?
No, Ultrasound scans are generally safe and harmless because they use sound waves rather than ionising radiation.
What if I am late and don't reach my appointment?
We are always happy to reschedule our patients’ appointments if they miss them and come late.
