Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to look at your body’s internal organs.

This safe, non-invasive test was first used medically in the 1950s after being developed in World War I to track submarines.

Today’s scanners produce moving pictures instead of still images which make results easier to interpret.

Ultrasound has applications in many fields, most notably obstetrics, urology, cardiology and neurology. It is a painless procedure that takes as little as 15 minutes to complete.
