Sonography

Sonography, also known as ultrasound imaging, is a diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. This non-invasive and radiation-free procedure is commonly used to examine various organs and tissues, including the heart, liver, kidneys, gallbladder, blood vessels, and the reproductive organs. It is particularly well-known for monitoring fetal development during pregnancy. During the test, a transducer (a small handheld device) is moved over the skin of the area being examined, emitting sound waves that bounce off internal structures and return to the transducer. These returning echoes are then converted into real-time images by a computer.
