Ultrasound Services
Ultrasound is like ordinary sound except its frequency, or pitch, is higher than people can hear. When sent into the body from a handheld device called a transducer, ultrasound travels through tissue and is reflected from internal structures.
The reflections, or "echoes," return to the transducer, where they are converted electronically into images. These continuously changing images are displayed on a monitor and are recorded digitally.
