sonographic
Via ultrasound imaging
Sonographic means relating to or produced by sonography—medical imaging that uses ultrasound waves to visualize internal body structures.
A sonographic examination reveals soft tissue that X-rays miss.
The term appears in clinical contexts: sonographic findings, sonographic evidence of a cyst.
The technology is most familiar from prenatal imaging of fetuses.
