ultrasound diagnosis
Echoic medical imaging
Ultrasound diagnosis is the use of high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal body structures for medical evaluation.
A technician or physician passes a transducer over the skin, and the returning echoes produce real-time images on a screen.
The technique is noninvasive and involves no radiation, making it especially common for monitoring pregnancies and examining soft tissues like the heart, liver, and kidneys.
The ultrasound diagnosis confirmed twins.
