Ultrasound Scan
An ultrasound scan, also known as sonography, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the body’s internal structures. It’s a versatile diagnostic tool commonly used to visualize organs, tissues, and developing fetuses during pregnancy. Ultrasound is safe, radiation-free, and well-suited for a variety of medical applications, including assessing heart function, detecting abnormalities in the abdomen, and guiding minimally invasive procedures. The real-time nature of ultrasound allows healthcare professionals to observe movement and monitor blood flow, making it a valuable resource for diagnostics and medical interventions.
