ultrasounds
Womb viewing scans
Ultrasounds are sound waves at frequencies above human hearing, used in medical imaging to visualize internal body structures.
The term commonly refers to the imaging procedure itself: She had an ultrasound at twenty weeks.
Prenatal ultrasounds show fetal development; other applications examine organs, blood flow, and soft tissue.
Ultrasound technology also has industrial and cleaning uses.
