Ultrasound Screening

Ultrasound screening is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create pictures of the inside of the body. It is commonly used during pregnancy to monitor the developing fetus, but can also help examine organs and tissues. The process is non-invasive and painless, involving a handheld device called a transducer that sends and receives sound waves, generating real-time images on a screen. This method helps healthcare providers detect potential issues early, allowing for timely intervention and informed decision-making. Ultrasound is safe and does not use radiation, making it a preferred choice for many diagnostic purposes.
