Home / Radiology / Ultrasound Ultrasound Ultrasound The terms Ultrasonography and Sonography are used interchangeably. Diagnostic sonography (ultrasonography) is a diagnostic imaging technique used for visualizing abdomen structures-liver spleen kidneys pancreas gall bladder urinary bladder, the developing fetus, subcutaneous body structures including tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal organs for possible diseased state or lesions. This painless diagnostic technique makes use of non-invasive high-frequency sound waves, aimed at areas in the body in order to produce visual images of anatomical structures. Uses : It is best suited for obtaining images of solid, or uniform soft tissue and uid- lled tissue. Ultrasonography is most commonly used for imaging fetus development during pregnancy. Gallbladder disease, kidney stones and evaluating the cause of abdominal pain are the commonest uses. High frequency ultrasound is useful for thyroid, neck, scrotal as well as breast examination. Useful for early screening and follow up of cancer. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is useful for ladies with gynecological problems, infertility evaluation and follicular monitoring in ovulation studies.
