Ultrasound imaging (sonography) make use of high-frequency sound waves to get real-time images of structures inside the body. It can also show movement of the body's internal organs and the blood flowing through the blood vessels. It is used to examine various conditions such as pregnancy, liver, thyroid, bladder and many more. Ultrasound imaging is safe as there is no exposure to ionizing radiation. During the examination, a transducer is placed on the skin or inside your body. A layer of gel will be applied on the area to be examined so that a clearer image could be obtained.
