echography
Ultrasound body scan
Echography is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to produce visual images of internal body structures.
The sound waves bounce off tissues and organs, creating echoes that are translated into pictures on a screen.
It is commonly used to monitor pregnancies, examine the heart, and assess abdominal organs.
The term is interchangeable with ultrasonography, though echography emphasizes the echo principle underlying the technology.
