Other diagnostic measures: Additional information on diagnostic measures: Use of diagnostic navigation system: Ultrasound

Your examination involved the use of a special navigation system.

This type of system is used to navigate to specific locations in the body during an examination. It also allows the precise position of special examination instruments to be pinpointed in the body. To do this, ultrasound was used to take pictures of the inside of your body. An ultrasound examination involves sending ultrasound waves from an ultrasound probe in the body. Depending on the structure of the tissue, different numbers of ultrasound waves are reflected. These waves are then converted to images that can be viewed on a screen.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
