Ultrasound, or ultrasonography, is a diagnostic technique using high-frequency sound waves to create live images of the internal parts of the body. This safe, non-invasive method allows for real-time visualisation of organs, tissues, and blood flow without ionising radiation.

Applications of Ultrasound
Used across various medical fields, ultrasound aids in:
- Pregnancy monitoring to observe fetal development
- Evaluating abdominal and pelvic organs
- Cardiac assessments
- Musculoskeletal examinations
- Vascular studies to check blood flow
- Guiding procedures like biopsies
What to Expect During Your Ultrasound
- Preparation: You’ll be positioned comfortably, with the area of interest accessible.
- Procedure: A special gel applied to your skin enhances sound wave transmission. The sonographer then moves a handheld device (transducer) across the gel, capturing images.
- Duration: The length of the scan depends on the examined area, typically ranging from a few minutes to half an hour.
