What is ultrasound?
Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a non-invasive and efficient way to look at organs and soft tissues inside the body.
High frequency sound waves are sent into the body through a hand-held probe attached to the ultrasound machine. A detailed image is then created from the ‘echoes’ that bounce back. The machine captures a real time image which is used to diagnose various conditions.

Ultrasound examination is one of the safest medical diagnostic examinations. It is commonly used to detect a wide range of medical conditions. Its unparallel safety, manoeuvrability, ease of use and versatility makes it one of the most frequently used diagnostic examinations in modern-day medicine.
Ultrasound examination can offer a great deal of diagnostic information in pregnant women (obstetric ultrasound), various musculoskeletal conditions, conditions of the breast, thyroid, abdominal and pelvic organs. It is also commonly used to perform image guided biopsies. Pain relief injections administered under ultrasound guidance are highly accurate and have much greater efficiency. Use of ultrasound during medical procedures also greatly reduces the risk of complications.

It provides a clear picture of the unborn child, and can determine viability, accurately measure growth, check for abnormalities, as well as checking for various maternal parameters, such as the development of the placenta, or the amniotic fluid volume.
