SONOGRAPHY/ULTRASOUND SCAN
An ultrasound scan is a medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from the inside of your body. It’s also known as sonography.
The technology is similar to that used by sonar and radar, which help the military detect planes and ships. An ultrasound allows your doctor to see problems with organs, vessels, and tissues without needing to make an incision.
Unlike other imaging techniques, ultrasound uses no radiation. For this reason, it’s the preferred method for viewing a developing fetus during pregnancy.
Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to demonstrate the internal structures of the body. The echoes of the sound waves are recorded and displayed as a visual image. This can help diagnose a variety of medical conditions.
Why an ultrasound is performed
Most people associate ultrasound scans with pregnancy. These scans can provide an expectant mother with the first view of her unborn child. However, the test has many other uses.
Your doctor may order an ultrasound if you’re having pain, swelling, or other symptoms that require an internal view of your organs. An ultrasound can provide a view of the:
- bladder
- brain (in infants)
- eyes
- gallbladder
- liver
- ovaries
- pancreas
- spleen
- thyroid
- testicles
- uterus
- kidneys
