What isUltrasound?

Ultrasound (US) imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method of “seeing” inside the human body through the use of high-frequency sound waves. The sound waves are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. No ionizing radiation is involved in ultrasound scanning.

In most ultrasound examinations, a transducer, a lightweight device which produces sound waves, is placed on the patient’s skin. There are also special transducers which can be put into the vagina or rectum to image these areas of the body.
