Some issues Dr. Nanda Deepa Thimmappa, MD can help you with:

Abdominal Ultrasound

Abdominal ultrasound is an exam that takes a picture of the organs and blood vessels inside the abdomen. It is a simple and useful way to investigate suspected illness. An abdominal ultrasound can provide information about the abdominal organs, including:

Kidneys
Liver
Pancrea
Gallbladder
Spleen
Blood vessels that supply these organs

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to take pictures of the inside of the body. It is painless and does not use radiation. During an abdominal ultrasound, a gel that helps transmit the sound waves is applied to the skin. Then a wand is moved over the skin, sending sound waves through the abdomen and producing a picture on the computer screen.

An abdominal ultrasound can identify tumors, infections, problems with blood flow, fluid buildup, or trauma to the organs of the upper abdomen. It is often used to identify the cause of abdominal pain, swelling, or decreased liver function. If gallstones or kidney stones are suspected, an ultrasound can detect them and see how large they are.

Vascular Ultrasound

Vascular ultrasound is an imaging test that uses ultrasound to take pictures of veins and arteries. Some kinds of vascular ultrasound can also see how the blood is flowing through them. Ultrasound is sonar technology, similar to what bats use to fly. It uses the echoes of high-frequency sound waves to create a picture of what's going on inside someone's body.

A vascular ultrasound can be used to:

locate blockages and blood clots
monitor blood flow after a procedure such as a stent or bypass
examine or check for an enlarged artery (aneurysm)
examine varicose veins
aid in the specific placement of needles and catheters

The procedure for a vascular ultrasound is very simple. Patients will lie on a table and expose the part of their body that needs to be examined. A clear gel will be applied to the skin so that no air will get in the way of the sound waves. A wand called a transducer will be moved over the skin, and grey swirled images of patients' veins and arteries will appear on a screen over a computer. There are no needles, and although there might be a bit of pressure at some points, it doesn't hurt. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes.
