What Is Ultrasound Imaging?

Ultrasound imaging employs high-frequency sound waves to generate images of your body’s interior, offering a safe, straightforward, and painless diagnostic option. This technique does not involve radiation, allowing radiologists and physicians to view images in real time. It is widely used for examining the thyroid gland, breasts, abdominal and pelvic organs, testes, and for assessing blood flow in arteries and veins.
