Sonography
Ultrasound is an ultrasound-based technique that allows you to view details inside the body without any irradiation. This technique is fast, inexpensive and harmless to health. It is particularly indicated for the examination of the abdomen, soft tissues, the thyroid gland, the heart, blood vessels with color doppler, and pregnancy.
My training began in 1995 at the University Hospitals of Geneva, with the reference Gastroenterologist Philippe SCHOENENBERG, and continued in Angiology with Professor Henry BOUNAMEAUX, former President of the Swiss Angiological Society.
From 1998, I completed annual internships at Ste-Marguerite Hospital in Marseille, with the international specialist, Dr Christophe BASTID, in the unit of Prof. SAHEL. This department is particularly renowned for having given the current classification of pancreatitis, and Dr Christophe BASTID is himself responsible for the interventional part, with major publications on hydatid cysts and hepatic tumors.
I have been a member of the Romand Ultrasound Group since the early 2000s, and I continue my training regularly through leading Swiss and international congresses.

Angiology
Peripheral vascular diseases (affecting veins and arteries) can be investigated using colour-flow Doppler ultrasonography. This technique does not pose any health risks and is fast and cost-effective.
- Veins
Problems, which lead to the formation of varicose veins or thromboses, can be evaluated, especially ahead of any intervention.
- Technique
- Arteries
Stenoses (narrowing of vessels) and tiny plaques can be identified in order to evaluate the risk of heart attacks or infarcts or to plan medical intervention.
