Ultrasound Scanning \ Research

Healthcare Now has experience in carrying out medical imaging studies for industrial and commercial customers, in particular medical research in the pharmaceutical sectors. Our service can design, control and deliver all aspects of the imaging component of research projects, including ultrasound-guided injections, allowing our customers to concentrate on the other important elements of the studies. Also, because of our flexibility (and mobility) of resource, we can bring our imaging service to the customer. The option of carrying out the imaging element of a study at the same location will often result in both logistical and financial benefits for our customers.

An ultrasound examination is a painless medical examination which uses soundwaves to “see” inside the body. No radiation is used in ultrasound. A transducer (which is like a small microphone) is placed over the area of the body being examined. Soundwaves pass through the skin from the transducer and echoes are reflected back to it. Those echoes are converted into electrical signals which can then be viewed as images on a television screen.
