Ultrasound

Ultrasound scanning, also known as sonography, is a non-invasive and radiation-free imaging technique used to examine internal body structures in real time. It works by emitting high-frequency sound waves through a device called a transducer, which sends the waves into the body and captures the echoes that bounce back from tissues, organs, and fluids. A computer then processes these echoes into detailed, live images, allowing healthcare professionals to assess various medical conditions.

Ultrasound is widely used for diagnosing and monitoring health conditions, particularly in cardiology, abdominal and pelvic health, musculoskeletal assessments, and vascular studies. One specialised form, Doppler ultrasound, evaluates blood flow in the arteries and veins, helping detect circulation issues. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, ultrasound does not use ionising radiation, making it a safe choice for all patients, including pregnant women and those requiring frequent imaging.
