Ultrasound

Ultrasound images are captured in real-time, using high-frequency sound waves. They can show the structure and movement of the body’s internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels. Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.
