What is an Ultrasound?
Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It is commonly used to examine organs, tissues, and blood flow, providing valuable information for diagnosis and treatment.

Preparing for Your Ultrasound
