Ultrasound Scans at AIVA in Berlin

The human body is very complex and adaptable. However, as we get older, the number of health problems increases. In order to stay healthy and enjoy life in the long term, regular check-ups are important to detect problems early and take countermeasures. Ultrasound scans are an essential tool for such examinations, which we perform at AIVA in Berlin. But how does ultrasound actually work and what are the benefits of examinations using this method? AIVA will explain!

We perform your ultrasound scan with the utmost professionalism and expertise!

How Exactly Does Ultrasound Work?

Before an ultrasound examination can begin at AIVA in Berlin, the head of the device is coated with a special gel. This improves the contact between the skin and the transducer and ensures that the results are not distorted by the surrounding air. The transducer then sends ultrasound waves into the body. These sound waves are imperceptible to the human ear, but when they hit internal structures, such as organs, muscles or bones, they are reflected back to the transducer. Different types of tissue reflect the sound to different degrees.

The transducer then picks up the reflected waves and records them. The computer translates the data into an image, also known as a sonogram. On this image, strong reflections, such as those from bones, are brighter. Weaker reflections, on the other hand, appear darker, for example vessels, fluids and organs.

One of the main advantages of ultrasound over other methods, such as X-rays, is that the results are available quickly and there is no radiation exposure. It is therefore gentle and can be performed on almost anyone without risk.

Ultrasound as Part of Preventive Care at AIVA in Berlin

At AIVA in Berlin, we use the latest ultrasound technology from SAMSUNG. This system is perfect for examining the heart, neck vessels, aorta, abdomen and other areas of the body. Precise and intuitive visualisations and comprehensive analysis functions help our specialists to provide you with reliable diagnoses. We use ultrasound as part of our preventive concepts, allowing us to identify potential risk factors at an early stage and initiate suitable treatment.

At AIVA in Berlin, we offer ultrasound scans either as individual examinations or as part of our medical check-ups. The examinations have many preventive advantages:

  • Precise early detection: If changes occur in the tissue, they are often visible before you notice any symptoms.
  • Painless: An ultrasound scan cannot be felt, making it suitable for everyone.
  • No radiation exposure: Other methods such as X-rays or CT scans produce radiation (albeit small amounts). An ultrasound scan can therefore be used more frequently – perfect for routine check-ups.
  • Fast results: The doctor sees the image live on the screen, so you get immediate feedback.
  • Cost-effective: Ultrasound is relatively inexpensive, making it suitable for regular screening.
  • Well tolerated: Regular screening is particularly useful for people with a history of cancer (e.g. a predisposition to cancer in the family). For example, certain areas of the body can be checked regularly to rule out disease.
