Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves and their echoes to form the images. The probe can be moved along the surface of the body and angled to obtain various views. Ultrasound has been used in a variety of clinical settings, including obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology and cancer detection. The main advantage of ultrasound is able to see the certain structures without using radiation.
