Thyroid Ultrasound

Ultrasound of the thyroid gland is used to evaluate:

• Thyroid size and structure

• Nodules and cysts

• Inflammatory changes

• Vascular patterns

• Follow-up of known thyroid findings

It is particularly valuable for early detection and monitoring of structural thyroid changes, often before symptoms develop.

Internal Organ Ultrasound

Abdominal ultrasound allows assessment of:

• Liver and gallbladder

• Kidneys and urinary tract

• Pancreas (as far as anatomically visible)

• Spleen

• Abdominal fluid or structural abnormalities

This examination is commonly used for preventive check-ups, clarification of symptoms, and longitudinal follow-up.

Lymph Nodes & Soft Tissue

Ultrasound is highly effective for evaluating:

• Enlarged or painful lymph nodes

• Subcutaneous masses

• Cysts, lipomas, or unclear soft tissue findings

• Inflammatory or reactive changes

It allows differentiation between benign and suspicious features and supports decisions regarding further evaluation or monitoring.

Skin & Superficial Structures

High-resolution ultrasound can be used to assess:

• Superficial skin and subcutaneous structures

• Scar tissue or fibrosis

• Localized swelling or nodules

• Follow-up of known findings

This is particularly useful when physical examination alone is inconclusive.

Ultrasound diagnostics are not only used to clarify symptoms, but also as part of preventive and longevity-oriented medicine.

Benefits include:

• Early detection of structural changes

• Baseline documentation for future comparison

• Non-invasive monitoring over time

• Reduction of unnecessary radiation exposure

Ultrasound is especially well suited for regular follow-up, as it can be repeated safely when clinically indicated.

Each ultrasound examination is preceded by a structured medical consultation. Findings are interpreted in the context of:

• Medical history

• Symptoms

• Laboratory results (if available)

• Previous imaging

Results are documented and discussed in detail. When necessary, recommendations for further diagnostics, follow-up intervals, or specialist referral are provided.

Ultrasound is a user-dependent diagnostic method. Its accuracy depends on training, experience, and clinical judgment — which is why all examinations are performed personally by Dr. Saljo.

Ultrasound diagnostics are suitable for patients who:

• Seek preventive medical evaluation

• Have unclear symptoms requiring clarification

• Need follow-up of known findings

• Want radiation-free diagnostic imaging

• Value thorough medical assessment and continuity of care

This service is offered independently or as part of a broader Preventive & Longevity consultation.

Examination time
Varies depending on the organs examined and clinical question.

Preparation
May be required for certain abdominal examinations and will be communicated in advance.

Safety
Ultrasound uses no ionizing radiation and is considered a very safe diagnostic method.

Results
Findings are discussed directly during or after the examination.

Ultrasound diagnostics are priced according to the examined region and clinical complexity. A personalized recommendation and cost overview are provided during consultation.
