Ultrasound imaging, also known as ultrasound scanning or sonography can be used to produce images of the internal organs, tissues and blood flow using high-frequency sound waves. It can be used to examine body parts such as the abdomen, renal, pancreas, bladder, breasts and female and male reproductive systems.
Ultrasound is a safe procedure whereby no radiation is involved and it is non-invasive. It gives real-time diagnosis which means that images can be shown at that point of time of scanning. Ultrasound is also versatile and cost effective compared to CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans. Without doubt, the field of sonography is highly specialized and holds great employment opportunities in Bangladesh.
