USG examinations in Kutno
Book an ultrasound examination at the Rozan Medical Center. We perform the full range of examinations – from the abdomen and thyroid gland to the joints, vessels, and echocardiography of the heart. The examination is performed by a specialist doctor, and the results are discussed immediately.
When it is worth doing ultrasound examination
Ultrasound is a non-invasive, painless and safe examination, so it is performed both for specific complaints and as a preventive measure. Below are situations in which it is worth scheduling an examination – if you recognize any of them in yourself, make an appointment.
Abdominal pain, feeling of fullness and bloating, nausea, digestive disorders, pain in the lumbar region, or abnormal blood test results are the most common reasons for performing an ultrasound of the abdominal cavity. The examination allows evaluating the liver, the gallbladder and biliary tract, the pancreas, the spleen, the kidneys, the urinary bladder, and the large vessels of the abdominal cavity. It is also the primary examination when suspected of biliary and renal stones.
The ultrasound of the breasts is the primary imaging test for women under the age of sixty-six, in whom the dense structure of the gland limits the usefulness of mammography. It is worth scheduling the examination if you notice a palpable lump, a change in the shape of the breast, a discharge from the nipple, and also as a preventive measure – once a year, even if there are no symptoms. In women over 46, when a mammogram is recommended every two years, it complements the full diagnostic imaging, but should not replace it.
Enlargement of the neck circumference, a feeling of tightness, a palpable lump, as well as abnormal thyroid hormone levels are indications for an ultrasound of the thyroid gland. The examination allows us to assess the size of the gland and the presence of nodules and focal changes. We also perform it as a control for previously diagnosed changes and before a planned biopsy.
Pain, swelling, or limited mobility of the joint, sports injury, suspected ligament, tendon, or muscle damage – in these situations, ultrasound shows structures that are not visible on an X-ray image. We also perform the test as a follow-up to treatment and when planning infusion injections.
Swelling and pain in the calves, visible varicose veins, a feeling of heaviness in the legs, intermittent claudication or dizziness are indications for a Doppler examination. It assesses the blood flow in the veins and arteries of the limbs and in the neck arteries, helping to detect varicosity, venous insufficiency and vessel narrowing.
The lumbar spine ultrasound is a screening test performed on infants, usually between the sixth and twelfth week of life. It allows for the early detection of hip dysplasia when treatment is the simplest and shortest. The test is painless and takes a few minutes.
Why it is worth doing USG in Kutna in the RCM
The examination is performed by a specialist doctor in the respective field, not by a technician – the thyroid ultrasound is performed by an endocrinologist, the joint ultrasound by an orthopedist, and the testicular and prostate ultrasound by a urologist. Thanks to this, the image is immediately interpreted in the context of your symptoms and the entire clinical situation.
You will also receive a description of the test and its discussion during your visit. The doctor will explain what the image shows, what this result means, and whether further steps are needed – you don’t have to wait for a document or schedule a separate appointment to find out the result.
At our clinic, you will undergo an ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, breasts, thyroid gland, ovaries, lymph nodes and soft tissues, an ultrasound of the joints and hips, Doppler studies of the vessels, and an echocardiogram of the heart. If the test reveals anything that requires consultation, you can immediately make an appointment with a specialist.
You do not need a referral for a private examination – you just need to choose the type of ultrasound and book an appointment online or by phone. If you are unsure which test is appropriate, please describe your situation over the phone and we will help you choose the scope of the examination.

What it involves ultrasound examination
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves that bounce off tissues and create an image of the inside of the body on the camera screen. It does not use ionizing radiation, so the test can be repeated many times and performed on children and pregnant women. It usually takes from a few dozen to thirty minutes, depending on the scope.
At the Różan Medical Center, ultrasound examinations are performed by specialists in their respective fields using a device that allows for the evaluation of both the abdominal organs and the small structures of the soft tissues or vascular flow. You can perform the examination either separately or in conjunction with a consultation – in that case, the doctor immediately compares the image with the patient’s symptoms and determines the next course of action.
Learn about the types USG examinations at RCM
USG of the abdominal cavity
USG of the abdominal cavity
The abdominal ultrasound is the most commonly performed ultrasound examination and usually the first step in the diagnosis of abdominal complaints. During the examination, the doctor assesses the liver, the gallbladder and the biliary tract, the pancreas, the spleen, the kidneys, the adrenal glands, the urinary bladder, and the abdominal aorta, and in men the prostate as well.
The test is performed on an empty stomach – for at least six hours before the visit, you should not eat, and two hours earlier, it is advisable to drink a glass of still water and not urinate to ensure that the bladder is filled. The test itself takes about twenty minutes, is painless, and does not require any recovery time.
USG of the breast
USG of the breast
The ultrasound of the breasts allows the evaluation of the structure of the mammary gland, the lymph nodes of the axillary region, and the submammary area. In women before the age of forty, it is the primary imaging examination of the breasts, because the young gland has a denser structure and is less visible on mammography. In older patients, the examination complements mammography.
The test requires no preparation and takes about twenty minutes. It is best performed in the first half of the cycle, between the fifth and tenth day, when the breasts are less swollen. The ultrasound does not use radiation, so it can be repeated as often as desired, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
USG of the thyroid gland
USG of the thyroid gland
The ultrasound of the thyroid assesses the size and structure of the gland, the presence of nodules, cysts, and focal changes, as well as the surrounding neck lymph nodes. This is a basic imaging test in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases – both in the case of abnormal hormone levels and in the presence of palpable changes on the neck.
The examination does not require any preparation; it takes about fifteen minutes and is performed in a lying position with the head slightly tilted. It is advisable to remove the necklace and wear clothing that covers the neck. If necessary, we perform a fine-needle thyroid biopsy and an endocrinological consultation on-site.
USG of the joints
USG of the joints
The ultrasound of the joints shows the soft tissues of the movement organ: tendons, ligaments, muscles, the synovial bag and the fluid in the joint cavity. It shows structures that are not visible on an X-ray image, which is why it is the first choice for injuries and overuse of the shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist, or foot.
A major advantage of ultrasound is the ability to perform dynamic examinations – the doctor views the joint in motion, which helps to detect structural conflict or instability. The examination does not require preparation and takes about twenty minutes. It can be combined with an orthopedic consultation, and, if indicated, with a bolus injection administered under ultrasound guidance.
USG of the hip joints in children
USG of the hip joints in children
The lumbar spine ultrasound is a screening test for infants, whose goal is the early detection of hip dysplasia. An abnormality that at this stage is not visible to the naked eye and does not cause symptoms can lead to permanent gait disorders in subsequent years.
The examination is usually performed in the first weeks of life, at the time indicated by the pediatrician or orthopedic surgeon, and if necessary, repeated for follow-up purposes. It takes a few minutes, is completely painless, and requires no preparation – it is only necessary to feed the child before the visit to keep them calm. Dysplasia that is diagnosed early is treated with conservative methods.
USG Doppler of vessels
USG Doppler of vessels
USG Doppler assesses not only the structure of the vessels but also the blood flow within them. We perform examinations of the veins and arteries of the lower and upper limbs as well as the carotid arteries – this allows us to detect thrombosis, venous insufficiency, atheroma, and narrowing that restrict blood flow.
The examination does not require any preparation and takes from twenty to thirty minutes, depending on the scope of the examination. The assessment of the lower limb vessels is usually performed in a lying and standing position, so it is advisable to wear comfortable clothing that is easy to put on and take off. The scope of the examination – one limb, both, one or two vascular systems – is determined at the time of booking.
ECHO of the heart
ECHO of the heart
ECHO heart, or echocardiography, is an ultrasound examination of the heart. It shows the structure of the chambers and valves, the thickness of the walls, the contractility of the heart muscle, and blood flow, and also allows the ejection fraction and the presence of fluid in the pericardial sac to be assessed. This is a basic imaging test in cardiology.
The examination is performed by a cardiologist in a supine position on the left side and takes about twenty minutes. It does not require any preparation or medication withdrawal. In the RCM ECHO procedure, the heart can be performed independently or as part of a consultation with a cardiologist – in which case the doctor immediately discusses the results and, if necessary, orders a Holter ECG or Holter blood pressure monitor.
USG of the ovaries
USG of the ovaries
The ultrasound of the ovaries allows the evaluation of the structure of the ovaries, the fallopian tubes and the seminal vesicles, and the blood flow within them. It is the primary imaging examination in the diagnosis of pain and swelling of the ovaries, palpable changes, varicose veins of the seminal tract, and ovarian cyst.
The examination is performed by a urologist; it does not require any preparation and takes a few minutes. It is painless – discomfort may only occur with severe inflammation. We encourage you not to postpone the visit: a noticeable change in the core always requires a doctor’s evaluation, and early diagnosis is crucial here.
USG of the lymph nodes and soft tissues
USG of the lymph nodes and soft tissues
The examination includes evaluation of the lymph nodes in the neck, axillary and groin regions, and changes located in the soft tissues. The doctor examines the size, shape, structure, and vascularity of the changes, which allows him to preliminarily distinguish an inflammatory process from a change requiring further diagnosis.
Within the soft tissues, ultrasound imaging shows, among other things, fatty lumps, cysts, bruises, tumors, and abdominal wall hernias. The examination does not require preparation and takes about fifteen minutes. If the image indicates the need for a deeper diagnostic evaluation, the doctor directs the patient for a biopsy or a specialist consultation.
Gynaecological ultrasound and during pregnancy
Gynaecological ultrasound and during pregnancy
Gynaecological ultrasound assesses the uterus, ovaries and endometrium, and the transvaginal head probe provides the most accurate image of the reproductive organ. In this area, we also perform monitoring of the menstrual cycle and ovulation, as well as evaluation of the fallopian tubes, which is used in the diagnosis of infertility.
Pregnancy examinations include obstetric ultrasound, which is performed by the gynecologist who provides gynecological and obstetric care; therefore, we schedule them together with the gynecological visit, and not as a separate imaging examination. We also offer prenatal diagnostics in the first, second, and third trimesters, including twins – these examinations are performed during a separate visit at specific weeks of pregnancy: 11.0–13.6, 18.0–22.0, and 28.0–32.0 hbd.
USG of the abdominal cavity
The abdominal ultrasound is the most commonly performed ultrasound examination and usually the first step in the diagnosis of abdominal complaints.
