An ultrasound scan, sometimes called a sonogram, is a procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of part of the inside of the body. An ultrasound scan can be used to monitor an unborn baby, diagnose a condition, or guide a surgeon during certain procedures.
Advantages of Ultrasounds:
- Ultrasound captures highly detailed images of the soft tissues that do not usually appear well on X-rays. They also enable real-time imaging.
- As Ultrasound scans use high frequency sound waves, they are an extremely safe and convenient procedure. The patient is fully awake during the procedure and no discomfort is experienced.
