ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging (sonography)
Ultrasound imaging (sonography) uses high-frequency sound waves to view inside the body. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can also show movement of the body's internal organs as well as blood flowing through the blood vessels.
X-ray imaging
Unlike X-ray imaging, there is no ionizing radiation exposure associated with ultrasound imaging.
Ultrasound exam
In an ultrasound exam, a transducer (probe) is placed directly on the skin or inside a body opening.
Process of the ultra sound exam
A thin layer of gel is applied to the skin so that the ultrasound waves are transmitted from the transducer through the gel into the body.
Ultrasound
The strength (amplitude) of the sound signal and the time it takes for the wave to travel through the body provide the information necessary to produce an image.
