Ultrasound scanning is one of the most important diagnostic techniques used in modern medicine. It is a safe and non-invasive method that uses high-frequency sound waves to obtain detailed images of internal organs.
What is ultrasound?
This technique relies on sending high-frequency sound waves to the area being examined and then receiving these waves after they bounce off internal tissues and organs. These sound waves are converted into images that doctors can interpret to diagnose various medical conditions.
