ultrasonography  

Definition

  • Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic imaging techniques, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs. Its aim is usually to find a source of disease or to exclude pathology. The practice of examining pregnant women using ultrasound is called obstetric ultrasound, and was an early development of clinical ultrasonography.
