Answer 4

Ultrasound is used for examining soft tissue inside the body.

Parts of the body that may be examined include muscles and unborn babies.

Blood flow can also be monitored using ultrasound.

Modern ultrasound equipment can produce 3D images

Colour enhancement to show blood flow

Digital files for examination on computers

Ultrasound is very safe.  There is no firm evidence that it does any harm to the body (or the baby in the case of pregnancy scans).

X-rays are potentially dangerous, particularly to young children and pregnant women (they damage the unborn baby).

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs and structures inside the body. Health care professionals use them to view the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver and other organs. During pregnancy, doctors use ultrasound tests to examine the fetus. Unlike x-rays, ultrasound does not involve exposure to radiation.

During an ultrasound test, a special technician or doctor moves a device called a transducer over part of your body. The transducer sends out sound waves, which bounce off the tissues inside your body. The transducer also captures the waves that bounce back. Images are created from these sound waves.
