Ultrasonography

1. What is an ultrasound examination?

Ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves that cannot be heard by the human ear to check the condition of internal organs and blood flow.
The test simply involves applying jelly to the skin and applying an ultrasound probe.
It is a highly safe test, and a wide range of people can undergo repeated tests.Since it does not have any adverse effects on the human body, it can be continuously examined over time, and the movement and state of the target object can be grasped in real time.
