A focused ultrasound to determine fetal sex when anatomy can be clearly visualized.

All pregnancy ultrasound examinations at LuxER are performed transabdominally.
LuxER does not perform transvaginal ultrasound or amniotic fluid index (AFI) examinations.
Pelvic & Women’s Ultrasound
LuxER offers transabdominal pelvic ultrasound to evaluate the uterus, ovaries, adnexal regions, and other pelvic structures when adequately visualized.
Pelvic ultrasound may be useful in the evaluation of:
-
Pelvic pain
-
Heavy or abnormal uterine bleeding
-
Suspected uterine fibroids
-
Ovarian cysts
-
Pelvic pressure or fullness
-
Other gynecologic concerns

Breast Ultrasound
Breast ultrasound may provide additional imaging of breast tissue and can help evaluate certain breast symptoms or focused areas of concern.
Available studies include services such as:
-
Targeted breast lump ultrasound
-
Unilateral breast ultrasound
-
Bilateral breast and axillary ultrasound
-
Selected breast implant ultrasound assessments
Breast ultrasound does not automatically replace screening or diagnostic mammography when mammography is medically indicated. Patients should continue age- and risk-appropriate breast screening and follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations.
Thyroid & Neck Ultrasound
Thyroid ultrasound provides detailed imaging of the thyroid gland and surrounding soft tissues.
It may help evaluate:
-
Thyroid enlargement
-
Thyroid nodules
-
Cysts
-
Structural abnormalities
-
Follow-up of previously identified thyroid findings
Ultrasound does not determine thyroid hormone function; laboratory testing may also be necessary depending on the clinical concern.
Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasound uses standard ultrasound and Doppler techniques to evaluate blood vessels and blood flow, depending on the type of examination being performed.
LuxER’s currently available vascular imaging includes:
DVT Ultrasound – Leg Blood Clot Evaluation
Venous duplex ultrasound can evaluate one or both legs for findings associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Additional vascular ultrasound services may be added as LuxER expands its diagnostic imaging program.
Musculoskeletal & Soft-Tissue Ultrasound
Ultrasound can provide real-time imaging of many superficial muscles, tendons, joints, and soft tissues.
Current services include:
-
Musculoskeletal single-joint ultrasound
-
Soft-tissue lump or mass ultrasound
-
Hernia ultrasound
These examinations may help evaluate selected soft-tissue injuries, fluid collections, superficial masses, tendon abnormalities, or other localized concerns.
The most appropriate imaging test depends on the location of the problem and the suspected condition. Some injuries may require X-ray, MRI, CT, or specialist evaluation instead.
Men’s Ultrasound
LuxER offers focused diagnostic ultrasound services for selected men’s health concerns, including:
Scrotal / Testicular Ultrasound
Ultrasound can evaluate the testicles, epididymis, scrotal structures, and blood flow when appropriate.
This examination may be used for symptoms such as swelling, a palpable lump, discomfort, or other scrotal concerns.
Sudden severe testicular pain is an emergency and should not be delayed for a routine outpatient appointment.
