Ultrasound is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture real-time images to monitor pregnancies, assess organs and soft tissues, and evaluate blood flow in blood vessels. This procedure can look at the structures of your body without the use of radiation or contrast dye.
