Insight Medical Ultrasound

Location :

Mughal Medical Centre,55 Ivanhoe R.d, BD7 3HY City of Bradford

All of our diagnostic and 3D/4D ultrasound scans are conducted by qualified and highly experienced Advanced Practitoner Sonographers. They are registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC) and are members of the Society of Radiographers, BMUS and UKAS.

The 3D/4D scans are not for diagnostic purposes. they are for pleasure purposes only.We use top of the range ultrasound s.canning equipment, GE Voluson 730 Expert which is equipped with 3D/4D scanning capability.

We have strict procedures and protocols in place to ensure safe working practice and use the ALARA principle (as low as reasonably achievable).

The company was formed in 2008 and has gone from strength to strength since then.

We are based in Iveridge Hall, Leeds, visit the Our clinics page for more information and directions.
How Does it Work
What is Ultrasound and how does it work?

Ultrasound refers to sound waves of such a high frequency (above 20 kHz) as to be inaudible to humans. Ultrasound is non ionizing and is not an electromagnetic radiation. Ultrasound with its short wavelength can be formed into a narrow beam.

Ultrasound undergoes reflection and refraction at the interface between two different body tissues. It is such reflections or echoes from different tissues that produce the ultrasound images. Diagnostic ultrasound has a special place in imaging soft tissues that are too similar to produce enough x-ray contrast; and also obstetric imaging, as the hazards are perceived to be insignificant compared with x-rays.

How is Ultrasound scanning done?
Ultrasound scanners use probes which painlessly glide over the human body. The probe is hand held by the operator. To eliminate air and ensure perfect contact with the skin, a non staining gel is applied on the scanner probe before the scan starts.

The probe generates and sends out the ultrasound waves and collects the returning echoes. These returning echoes are then converted to images on the monitor screen by the powerful computer inside the scanner
