In-House Diagnostic Ultrasound in Pearland, TX

Advanced Imaging for Faster Diagnosis & Personalized Care

At Broadway Family Clinic, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced diagnostic tools available. By offering In-House Ultrasound Imaging, we eliminate the need for you to travel to a separate imaging center or wait weeks for a hospital appointment.

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Kashif Siddiqui and our clinical team, we use non-invasive ultrasound technology to see inside the body in real-time, allowing for immediate clinical decisions and a faster start to your treatment.

What is a Diagnostic Ultrasound?

An ultrasound (also known as a sonogram) uses high-frequency sound waves to create live images of the structures inside your body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound does not use radiation, making it a safe and effective diagnostic tool for patients of all ages.

Our In-House Ultrasound Capabilities

We use our on-site ultrasound equipment to evaluate a wide range of medical concerns, including:

  • Abdominal Imaging: Evaluating the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, and spleen to diagnose pain, stones, or inflammation.

  • Thyroid Screenings: Checking for nodules, cysts, or enlargement of the thyroid gland.

  • Vascular & Venous Studies: Assessing blood flow and checking for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or arterial blockages.

  • Pelvic & Bladder Exams: Investigating pelvic pain or urinary tract issues.

  • Musculoskeletal (MSK) Imaging: Examining tendons, muscles, and joints for tears or fluid buildup.

The Advantages of In-House Imaging

Choosing Broadway Family Clinic for your ultrasound needs offers several key benefits:

  • Immediate Clinical Integration: Dr. Siddiqui can correlate the ultrasound findings directly with your physical exam and medical history during your visit.

  • Comfort & Convenience: Receive your imaging in the same friendly, familiar environment where you see your primary care provider.

  • Cost-Effective: In-office ultrasounds are often significantly more affordable than those performed at hospitals or outpatient radiology departments.

  • Personalized Experience: Our team takes the time to explain the findings to you, ensuring you understand your health status before you leave.

Preparing for Your Ultrasound

Preparation varies depending on the type of exam being performed:

  1. Abdominal Ultrasound: You may be asked to fast (no food or drink) for 8 to 12 hours prior to the exam to ensure clear images of the gallbladder and liver.

  2. Pelvic/Bladder Ultrasound: You may be asked to drink a specific amount of water and arrive with a full bladder.

  3. Vascular/Thyroid: Generally, no special preparation is required.

Our staff will provide you with specific instructions when your appointment is scheduled.
