Image for B-scan ultrasonography

B-scan ultrasonography

B-scan ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create two-dimensional images of internal structures in the body. A small device called a transducer sends out sound waves that bounce off tissues, and the reflections are processed to form a visual image on a monitor. This method is commonly used to examine organs, detect abnormalities, and guide diagnoses, particularly in areas like the eyes or soft tissues. It is safe, non-invasive, and often doesn't require any special preparation from the patient.
