What does an ultrasound tell us?

An ultrasound can be used to help diagnose conditions, for guidance during a variety of procedures, such as biopsies and monitor the progress of unborn babies. As soundwaves are used rather than radiation, an ultrasound scan is believed to be a safe procedure.

This type of scan is carried out using a small handheld device called an ultrasound probe, which gives off high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves (which can't be heard) bounce off different parts of the body to create a moving image which is displayed on a monitor while the scan is carried out.
