ultrasound room
Imaging exam space
An ultrasound room is a medical examination space equipped for sonographic imaging—using sound waves to visualize internal body structures.
The term appears most often in obstetric contexts, where pregnant patients receive prenatal scans: The technician led her to the ultrasound room for her twenty-week appointment.
Ultrasound rooms are typically dimmed to improve monitor visibility.
