Ultrasound

Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of thebody'sinternal structures. This non-invasive and painless test can help diagnose a variety of medical conditions, including pregnancy complications, gallbladder disease, and musculoskeletal injuries. Ultrasound is widely used in hospitals and medical centers worldwide, and has become an essential tool in modern diagnostic medicine.

During an ultrasound test, a technician applies a special gel to the area of the body being examined, and then uses a wand-like device called a transducer to send sound waves through the body. The sound waves bounce back off the internal structures, and are then converted into images by a computer. Ultrasound is safe and non-invasive, and can be performed quickly and easily in a variety of settings.
