ultrasound screening
Fetal visualization procedure
Ultrasound screening uses sound waves to create images of internal body structures, typically for medical diagnosis.
The technique is most familiar from prenatal care, where it monitors fetal development: The ultrasound screening showed twins.
Unlike X-rays, ultrasound involves no radiation, making it safe for repeated use during pregnancy.
