Finding and treating any medical condition at an early stage can save you time and money. Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in health care as it helps identify various health issues related to the organs and structures inside the body and produces accurate results.

What is an Ultrasound?

An ultrasound is a type of imaging that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images of the organs and other structures inside the body. Also known as sonography, this test is used by most healthcare professionals to view the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, liver, and other organs. During pregnancy, doctors use ultrasound imaging to see the foetus. Unlike other imaging techniques, ultrasound does not use radiation and therefore, is the most preferred method to view a developing foetus during pregnancy.
