A technique for investigating organs by ultrasound, is now a routine examination for many illnesses.

There are several types of ultrasound:

- Abdominal (Kidneys, Liver, Pancreas, Spleen)
- Pelvic (bladder, uterus, ovaries, tubes)
- Prostatic
- Thyroid
- Other (testicles, lymph nodes, joints, blood vessels,)

It is a painless examination done with an ultrasound probe covered with an amplifying gel.
At Clinique Dr. BOUM, general medicine uses this investigative technique for preliminary investigations. The results obtained can lead to further investigations or even to a consultation with a specialist (Urologist, Gynaecologist, Gastroenterologist, Nephrologist).
