OBJECTIVES

The MSDU program mission is supported by the following program goals and objectives:

  • In gynaecology, it helps in evaluating the uterus, ovaries, and other reproductive organs for conditions such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
  • It aids in diagnosing conditions like liver cirrhosis, gallstones, pancreatitis, renal cysts, and urinary tract infections.
  • It assists in diagnosing conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), carotid artery disease, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and aneurysms.
  • It aids in diagnosing conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, ligament tears, muscle tears, and joint effusions.
  • Breast ultrasound is often used as a supplemental imaging modality alongside mammography for evaluating breast abnormalities, characterizing breast masses, and guiding breast biopsies. It is particularly useful for distinguishing between cystic and solid lesions.
  • Ultrasound guidance is invaluable for performing various minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies, aspirations, injections, and catheter placements. It enhances accuracy and reduces the risk of complications by providing real-time imaging guidance.
