Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.
We use it to assist in diagnosing the cause of pain, swelling and infection, and to examine a baby in the womb.
It is a safe and painless procedure. We use a small transducer and ultrasound gel placed on the skin while high-frequency sound waves travel from the probe through the gel and into the body, producing an image.
This noninvasive medical test can help doctors diagnose and treat many medical conditions.
