What is the diference between a sonograph and an ultrasound?

Question

I have an ultrasound coming up and I keep hearing people talking about sonographs.. I have no idea what that is. If it is a better form of ultrasound let me know!! I wanna know the s*x of teh baby right away!!

Answer 1

I know there is no difference but I notice that older folks call them sonograms

Answer 2

they're absolutely the same thing.

Answer 3

I THINK that ultrasound is the name of the machine, and sonograph is the print out, but ultimately they are the same.  Good luck

Answer 4

I think an ultrasound is technically the sound waves that bounce off the baby producing the picture. The picture itself is called the sonogram/sonograph. It's pretty much the same thing...

Answer 5

Nothing. Just another term used for the word ultrasound
