Article Excerpts about Ultrasound
Ultrasonography
is another procedure for viewing areas inside the body.
High-frequency sound waves that cannot be heard by humans
enter the body and bounce back. Their echoes produce a picture
called a sonogram .
These pictures are shown on a monitor like a TV screen and can
be printed on paper. (Source: excerpt from What You Need To Know About Cancer - An Overview: NCI)
Descriptions of Ultrasound
Ultrasound: A procedure in which high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echo patterns are shown on the screen of an ultrasound machine, forming a picture of body tissues called a sonogram. Also called ultrasonography.
