Ultrasound ScansAbout this service
A small parts ultrasound in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic is a focused scan used to look closely at a specific area such as the thyroid, testes, or a soft-tissue lump, using sound waves to build a detailed picture without radiation. This type of scan is often used to investigate a swelling, lump, or change your doctor has noticed or that you have reported yourself. The scan is performed in our rooms, is painless, and does not require any special preparation in most cases.
Your doctor will discuss the findings with you, and further tests or referral may be recommended depending on the result. Book an appointment if a focused ultrasound has been recommended for you.
