Diagnostic medical sonography, often referred to simply as ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of structures within the body. These images, known as sonograms, are produced by sending sound waves through the body and recording the echoes that bounce back from tissues and organs.
