Can you tell me how is ultrasound used in medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ultrasound: Ultrasound is a type of imaging. It uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs and structures inside the body. Health care professionals use it to view the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver, and other organs. During pregnancy, doctors use ultrasound to view the fetus. Unlike x-rays, ultrasound does not expose you to radiation. US is also used as guidance for certain biopsies/procedures
