An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves that create an image of the internal body structure. We use ultrasound to look at a fetus’s development (unborn baby) or pelvic and abdominal organs muscles, tendons as well as their blood vessels and heart.
The ultrasound machine sends high-frequency sound waves towards the internal organs of the body which are being examined. The sound waves that reflect, also known as echos, are recorded in order to create an image that can be seen on a screen.
Sound waves can be released and received by a small hand-held device. Because of the high sound frequency, the human ear is unable to detect it. This is the reason why it’s called ultrasound.
Epic Medical Diagnostics offers ultrasound services to check fetal development in the womb, pelvic and abdominal organs, and others.
