Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound is safe, non-invasive, and does not use ionizing radiation. It is used to help diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection in the body and to examine a baby in pregnant women. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body’s internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels. It’s also used to help guide biopsies and diagnose heart conditions.
