In this on-demand world, patients expect the highest level of care possible and the SONOLINE Antares ultrasound system helps the medical professionals of Lafayette General Imaging meet those expectations.   With unsurpassed image quality the Antares system can provide doctors and patients with answers to medical questions with greater accuracy than ever before.

The SONOLINE Antares system can offer patients the broadest range of imaging capabilities including 2D, 3D and Doppler imaging to help doctors give the most complete diagnosis available.   And the Antares system isn’t just accurate; it’s versatile as well, extending its range outside the realm of OB/GYN. This ultrasound system is capable of providing premium performance in abdominal, vascular and pediatric applications as well as several others.  

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to capture images within the body. The Siemens Antares ultrasound unit records and displays the reflected sound wave echoes as images in real time. This imaging system is especially effective at showing the movement of internal tissues and organs, such as the gallbladder, liver, pancreas, and kidneys, as well as the flow of blood through the arteries and heart valves.   Of course, ultrasound is best known for fetal imaging – providing parents with that first "picture" of their baby.

The technologist at LGI is certified in abdominal and OB/GYN diagnostic medical sonography, with additional experience in what’s called "small parts" tissue like the thyroid and testicles.
