With the purchase of SonoCT Ultrasound
technology, Cary Medical Center
has a powerful new imaging tool for diagnosing and evaluating a wide variety of
conditions. This ultrasound technology
uses high frequency sound waves and their echoes to create pictures of internal
organs. Traditional ultrasound bounces
one sound wave straight to the tissue.
The SonoCT has the ability to combine up to nine penetrating sound waves
from different angles to create exceptionally detailed images. Using new techniques, including tissue
harmonics and 3D and panoramic imaging, doctors can view tissue abnormalities
better than ever therefore, helping to reduce the need for more invasive
procedures. This is a huge advantage in
diagnose diseases such as breast cancer.
Additionally, this technology can do three dimensional virtual images
for studies of internal organs including the heart, uterus, pancreas, kidneys,
spleen, and prostate, as well as evaluate fetal development and detect any
potential birth defects.
