ULTRASOUND-Scanning Types

ULTRASOUND SCANNING 

Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound examinations do not use ionizing radiation (as used in X-rays). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

Ultrasound examinations can help to diagnose a variety of conditions and to assess organ damage following illness.Ultrasound is used to help physicians evaluate symptoms such as:

• pain
• swelling
• infection
• hematuria (blood in urine)

    HUMAN ANATOMY is the study of the morphology of the human body.  

  Ultrasound is a useful way of examining many of the body's internal organs such as:

  • heart and blood vessels, including the abdominal aorta and its major branches
  • liver
  • gallbladder
  • spleen
  • pancreas
  • kidneys
  • bladder
  • uterus, ovaries, and unborn child (fetus) in pregnant patients
  • eyes
  • thyroid and parathyroid glands
  • scrotum (testicles)
  • brain in infants
  • hips in infants
