Olympic Radiology has upgraded the ultrasound department with the most technologically advanced system in use in Kitsap County. The GE Logiq 9 produces cleaner, sharper image views of internal organs and pathological lesions.

One advantage of the system is its advanced Speckle Reduction Imaging capabilities. Speckle is an inherent imaging artifact that appears as "graininess" and often obscures anatomy in ultrasound images. Speckle reduction produces a sharper view of fine details when examining organs such as the thyroid and superficial parts like muscles.

The superior color Doppler capabilities of the ultrasound help see and evaluate possible blockages to blood flow such as clots, or narrowing of vessels.

Diagnostic medical ultrasound is a safe and helpful procedure that is useful for patients of all ages and for a variety of medical indications. At Olympic Radiology Associates we are committed to offering current technology combined with experienced certified medical sonographers and Board Specialized physicians to provide patients the best in health care.
