Sonography, also known as Ultrasound Imaging, is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the internal organs, tissues, and blood flow within the body. It helps doctors visualize internal structures without the use of ionizing radiation (unlike X-rays or CT scans).

How It Works

A small handheld device called a transducer emits sound waves that bounce off internal organs. These echoes are then captured and converted into visual images on a monitor. The entire process is painless, radiation-free, and generally completed within a few minutes.

Common Applications

• Abdominal Sonography: Evaluates organs such as the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys.
• Pelvic Sonography: Used to assess the uterus, ovaries, prostate, and urinary bladder.
• Obstetric Sonography: Monitors fetal growth, placental position, and overall pregnancy health.
• Neck & Thyroid Sonography: Detects thyroid nodules, cysts, and gland enlargement.
• Breast Sonography: Helps identify lumps, cysts, and abnormalities in breast tissue.
• Vascular (Doppler) Ultrasound: Examines blood flow in arteries and veins to detect blockages or clots.
• Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Evaluates muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints for injuries or inflammation.

Benefits Of Ultrasound

• Completely Safe – No radiation exposure
• Painless and Non-Invasive
• Real-Time Imaging for accurate diagnosis
• Quick and Convenient procedure
• Can be Repeated whenever necessary
