What is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound (US), also called ultrasound sonography, is a method of obtaining images from inside the human body through the use of high frequency sound waves. The reflected soundwave echoes are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. No ionizing radiation (or x-ray) is involved in ultrasound imaging.
