An i-ultrasound scan isebenzisa amaza omsindo ukwenza umfanekiso wengaphakathi lomzimba.
Kuyini ukuskena kwe-Ultrasound (U/S)?
An i-ultrasound scan isebenzisa amaza omsindo ukwenza isithombe sangaphakathi emzimbeni wakho. Umshini we-ultrasound usebenzisa isithwebuli esiphathwa ngesandla noma uphenyo. Amaza omsindo aphuma ku-probe futhi ahamba emzimbeni ukuze enze isithombe.
Yini engase isetshenziselwe ukuskena kwe-ultrasound?
I-Ultrasound ingasetshenziswa kulezi zimo ezilandelayo:
- Hlola intamo, izitho zesisu (isisu) noma i-pelvis
- Hlola izindawo ezivuvukele ngokwesibonelo ekhwapheni noma endaweni yegroin
- Siza ukuthola indawo engcono kakhulu yokuthatha i-biopsy (i-ultrasound guided biopsy)
- Siza ukuthola indawo engcono kakhulu yokubeka umugqa omaphakathi (uhlobo lweshubhu elifakwa emithanjeni ukuze kunikezwe imithi noma ukuthatha amasampula egazi)
- Inani elincane leziguli ezithintwe i-lymphoma ezidinga ukugeleza koketshezi i-ultrasound ingase isetshenziselwe ukuqondisa le nqubo
Kwenzekani ngaphambi kokuhlolwa?
Kuye ngokuthi yiluphi uhlobo lwe-ultrasound olunikezwayo kungase kube nesidingo sokuzila ukudla (ungadli noma uphuze) ngaphambi kokuskena. Kwamanye ama-ultrasounds, isinye esigcwele sizodingeka ngakho-ke ukuphuza inani elithile lamanzi nokungayi endlini yangasese kuyodingeka kwenzeke. Abasebenzi basesikhungweni sokuthwebula izithombe bazokwazisa uma kukhona imithetho ethile okufanele ilandelwe ngaphambi kokuskena. Kubalulekile ukutshela abasebenzi nganoma yiziphi izimo zezokwelapha, isibonelo isifo sikashukela, umfutho wegazi ophezulu.
Kwenzekani ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa?
Kuye ngokuthi ingxenye yomzimba iskeniwe uzodinga ukulala phansi futhi ube ngomhlane noma ngohlangothi. I-radiographer izofaka ijeli efudumele esikhumbeni bese isithwebuli sibekwe phezu kwejeli, esikhumbeni. I-radiographer izonyakazisa isithwebuli futhi ngezinye izikhathi ingase idinge ukucindezela okungase kungakhululeki. Akufanele ubuhlungu futhi inqubo ngokuvamile ithatha phakathi kwemizuzu engu-20-30. Okunye ukuskena kungase kuthathe isikhathi eside.
Kwenzekani ngemva kokuhlolwa?
I-radiographer izohlola izithombe ukuze iqinisekise ukuthi zinakho konke ezikudingayo. Uma izithombe sezihloliwe ungabuyela ekhaya futhi ubuyele emisebenzini evamile. Abasebenzi bazokweluleka uma kunemiyalelo ekhethekile.
