Ultrasound/Sonography Scan Centre

What is Ultrasonography?

Ultrasonography, commonly known as sonography, is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to create images of the internal structures of the body. The ultrasound scan widely used for various medical purposes, including monitoring fetal development during pregnancy, diagnosing conditions affecting the organs and tissues, and guiding certain medical procedures.

What is 3D and 4D Sonography?

3D and 4D sonography, also known as ultrasound imaging, are advanced diagnostic techniques that create detailed images of the body's internal structures. While traditional 2D ultrasound provides flat, two-dimensional images, 3D sonography generates three-dimensional images, offering a more comprehensive view. 4D sonography adds the dimension of time, creating real-time, moving images of the fetus or other internal structures.

How ultrasound Works?

During the procedure, a transducer emits ultrasound waves into the body. These sound waves bounce off internal structures and are captured by the transducer. A computer processes these sound waves to create detailed images.

The ultrasound test is non-invasive and helps diagnose various conditions by visualizing organs, tissues, and blood flow.
