Sonography

Ultrasonography (USG) is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal organs and tissues in the body. The sound waves are emitted by a transducer, which is placed on the skin surface and moved around to obtain different views and images.

USG is a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool that does not involve radiation exposure, making it a popular and widely used imaging modality. It is used to evaluate and diagnose a wide range of medical conditions affecting various organs in the body, including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, thyroid, uterus, ovaries, and prostate.

USG can provide detailed information about the size, shape, and location of organs and tissues, as well as identify abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, and other pathological changes. It is often the first-line imaging modality for many medical conditions and is used to guide biopsies and other procedures, allowing for accurate and precise targeting of tissues and organs.

USG is also used during pregnancy to monitor fetal growth and development, evaluate the placenta, and diagnose potential complications such as ectopic pregnancy, fetal anomalies, and placenta previa.

Overall, USG is a versatile and valuable diagnostic tool that plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of many medical conditions.
