ULTRASOUND SECTION |
| |
The Ultrasound Section is one of the department’s showcase. Manned by experienced and competent sonologists, the section continues to lead the way in ultrasound imaging not only within the institution but throughout the country. Its exceptionally high volume of studies, particularly the department’s research data on sonographic measurements, are being used as Filipino reference values by most institutions/hospitals in the country.
All ultrasound studies are doctor-performed. This is the section’s greatest strength since ultrasound imaging is highly operator dependent. If not done properly, many pathologies may be missed and normal variants maybe mistaken for an abnormality. And to ensure accuracy of results, there are always two doctors who will evaluate and assess the patient. This unparalleled quality standard measure assures you of fast and reliable results.

Equipment:
|
| |
The ultrasound section is equipped with the top of the line ultrasound machines which provide quality images, thus, delineating anatomic and pathologic structures with ease.
To provide an efficient service to our growing number of patients, we have at present seven (7) ultrasound machines. |
