Health Screenings & Diagnostic Ultrasounds
With today’s healthcare changes, it’s never been so important to take charge of your own health. At SoCal Medical Thermography & Ultrasound we enable you to take control of your health. Let’s start by having a look of what is going on the inside. Often we’re not aware that we are in the beginning stages of a disease until we start feeling the symptoms. By catching a problem in the very early onset, it is often easier and less invasive to treat.
Just like maintaining your car, you must maintain your body! Ultrasound health screenings are a great place to start. Usually these types of scans are not ordered by a doctor unless you have a symptom but at SoCal Medical Thermography & Ultrasound we can provide those for you now. Each scan we offer is preformed by an experienced sonographer who has been specially trained for these types of ultrasound scans. And often when an issue is caught early, the percentage of a positive out come is much higher.
We can come to your Community, Church or Corporate Health Event. Call us to get a quote for a group discount for ultrasound health screenings at (951)703-3087.
Advantages of Ultrasound Scans
Ultrasound is safe, non-invasive, painless, and uses no radiation. It gives real-time images of your body’s soft tissues and blood flow, making it an excellent diagnostic tool.
The Diagnostic Ultrasounds screenings that we offer are:
Carotid Artery Screening: $90 Includes Radiology Report
A stoke remains the third leading cause of death in the United States. Approximately 700,000 people in the U.S. suffer a stroke each year and 500,000 of these are first time attacks. A simple ultrasound scan of your carotid arteries will determine any blockage or plaque build up!
Carotid Artery Ultrasound (Carotid Doppler) Advantages:
- Detects narrowing or blockages in carotid arteries (leading blood supply to the brain)
- Helps assess stroke risk
- Measures blood flow through the arteries
- Monitors effectiveness of treatment for vascular disease
Thyroid Screening: $90 Includes Radiology Report
It is estimated that 27 million Americans have thyroid disease, and over half are undiagnosed. An ultrasound scan of the thyroid is typically used to help diagnose a lump in the thyroid or one that is not functioning properly which can cause weight gain or loss among other symptoms.
Thyroid Ultrasound Advantages:
- Evaluates thyroid nodules, cysts, or enlargement (goiter)
- Helps detect thyroid cancer or other thyroid-related conditions
- Monitors changes in nodules over time
Abdominal Aortic Sreening: $90 Includes Radiology Report
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can be life-threatening if it bursts. AAA grows slowly, without symptoms and that is why a regular ultrasound is important. Aneurysms that are large or growing can be repaired with surgery.
Aorta Ultrasound (Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound) Advantages:
- Screens for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) – a potentially life-threatening bulge in the artery
- Measures the size and shape of the aorta
- Monitors patients with known aneurysms for changes
- Helps prevent complications through early detection
Gallbladder Screening: $90 Includes Radiology Report
The Gallbladder screening will detect gallstones and other abnormalities.
Liver Screening: $90 Includes Radiology Report
Most liver diseases have only mild symptoms initially, but it is vital that these diseases be detected early. An ultrasound of your liver will detect the beginning stages of liver disease.
Liver Ultrasound Advantages:
- Identifies liver enlargement, fatty liver disease, scarring (cirrhosis), or tumors
- Detects blockages in bile ducts
- Assesses blood flow through the liver with Doppler ultrasound
- Helps monitor chronic liver disease
Kidney Screening: $90 Includes Radiology Report
An ultrasound of your kidneys finds abnormalities in appearance and kidney stones.
Kidney Ultrasound Advantages:
- Detects kidney stones, cysts, tumors, or structural abnormalities
- Evaluates blood flow and function
- Helps identify blockages in urine flow
- Assists in monitoring chronic kidney disease
Abdominal Ultrasound: $195 Includes Radiology Report
This ultrasound will include an ultrasound scan of your liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys. The blood vessels that lead to some of these organs, such as the inferior vena cava and aorta, can also be examined with this ultrasound.
Abdominal Ultrasound Advantages:
- Assesses abdominal organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen
- Detects gallstones, kidney stones, cysts, or tumors
- Evaluates unexplained pain, swelling, or abnormal lab results
- Screens for fluid buildup (ascites)
Echocardiogram Ultrasound: $225 Includes Radiology Report - Available at our Redlands Office Only
An Echocardiogram (echo ultrasound) has several advantages, especially when it comes to evaluating heart health. Each Echo Ultrasound comes with a written report by a radiologist
and is safe, fast, and highly informative—making it the go-to test for heart evaluation.
Echocardiogram Ultrasound Advantages:
-
Non-Invasive & Safe
No radiation exposure (unlike X-rays or CT scans)
Completely non-invasive and painless
Safe for repeated use and suitable for all ages, including pregnant women and children. -
Real-Time Visualization
Provides live moving images of the heart, showing how it beats and pumps blood
Helps detect abnormalities in heart structure and function instantly
-
Detailed Information
Evaluates chamber size, wall thickness, and pumping strength (ejection fraction)
Identifies valve problems (leaky or narrowed valves)
Detects congenital heart defects, blood clots, tumors, or fluid around the heart
All scans are performed by a Certified Clinical Sonographer. All results and images are interpreted and reported by a board-certified MD.
