Ultrasound for Children
Dear Parents!
At Grand Medical clinic, we offer ultrasound (US) examinations for children starting from the age of 7. Pediatric ultrasound significantly differs from the same procedure performed on adults. A child’s body is constantly growing, which leads to changes in the size and positioning of organ systems and internal organs. These unique characteristics require a special approach and attention from specialists.
- Modern equipment ensuring high diagnostic accuracy.
- A comfortable and friendly atmosphere.
- Parental consultation based on examination results.
Pediatric ultrasound at our clinic is performed by a highly qualified and experienced specialist, Vladislav Kopytkov. The doctor creates a comfortable environment for young patients, ensuring the procedure is as calm and stress-free as possible.
