Ultrasound(USG)

Ultrasound is a technique which uses sound waves of high frequency to produce images.

Different parts of the body respond differently when high-frequency ultrasonic waves are passed through them. When ultrasound waves are passed through the body, many tissues reflect sound waves partially and transmit the rest, which are then reflected back from deeper structures. The reflected waves are measured and depending on the time it takes for them to return, the depth of the echo is decided - the intensity decides the greyness of the area.

Ultrasound is used in many parts of the body, specifically to view the fetus, for other gynecological abnormalities and to view the abdomen, orbits, thyroid gland, breast, testes, etc.

There is no known danger to the use of ultrasound.
