Ultrasound

Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the inside of the body. It is commonly used to examine internal organs, monitor fetal development during pregnancy, detect abnormalities and guide certain medical procedures. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safe and preferred method for various medical evaluations. The procedure is quick, painless and typically performed using a handheld device called a transducer, which is moved over the skin after applying a special gel to ensure clear image transmission.
