Ultrasound technology
Basically, an ultrasound also named as sonography performed in a diagnostic centre, is a medical assessment that uses high-quality sound waves to obtain the live pictures of the interior of the body. Sonography is generally used to help diagnose the causes of pain, infection, and swelling in the body’s internal organs, and also to examine a baby in pregnant women. During pregnancy, ultrasound is performed to monitor the progress of a growing fetus and also to detect abnormalities or signs of diseases. It does not use any radiations like X-rays or CT scans, which makes it safe for both the baby and the mother.
Sonography is based on the same principles involved in the sonar. When a sound wave hits an object, it usually echoes or bounces back. The echo waves are measured, which helps to determine the distance, shape, size, and consistency of the object. Sonography is also used to detect changes in size, appearance, a contour of organs, tissues, vessels, and abnormal masses like tumors etc. With the help of conventional ultrasound, the images in thin and flat sections of the body can be displayed. Ultrasound technology also includes 3D ultrasound that formats the 2D images to 3D images.
Ultrasound technology also includes the Doppler ultrasound also known as color Doppler ultrasonography .Pregnancy Doppler is basically a special ultrasound technique that helps the physicians to visualize and evaluate blood flow through the arteries and veins in the arms, legs, abdomen, etc. The movement of the blood cells causes a change in the pitch of the reflected sound waves, which is further collected and processed by the computer. The computer creates graphs or pictures that represent the flow of blood.  Doppler ultrasound can be of three types namely color Doppler, power Doppler, and spectral Doppler.
Usually, people are concerned whether ultrasound is safe for pregnant women and the babies or not, but sonography is used for ages and is completely safe if performed by professionals following proper guidelines. If still, you are doubtful, you can consult for ultrasound Dr. Monika, who is known for her expertise in this field.
