Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a diagnostic medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It is a non-invasive, painless procedure that can be used to examine many different parts of the body, including:
During the procedure, a small handheld device called a transducer is moved over the area of the body being examined. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves, which bounce off the internal organs and tissues and are then picked up by the transducer. These sound waves are then converted into images on a computer screen, which can be interpreted by a trained healthcare provider.
Ultrasound is considered safe and has no known risks or side effects. It is also relatively quick and can often be completed in just a few minutes. However, the quality of the images produced can depend on factors such as the patient's body size and the location of the organ or tissue being examined.
