An ultrasound, also known as a sonogram, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the inside of the body.
It is commonly used for visualizing organs, tissues, and developing fetuses during pregnancy. The ultrasound machine emits sound waves that bounce off internal structures, and the returning echoes create detailed images.
Ultrasound is non-invasive, safe, and widely employed for diagnosing and monitoring medical conditions. It is particularly valuable in obstetrics, cardiology, and abdominal imaging, providing valuable insights without the need for ionizing radiation.
