What is an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound, or sonography, uses sound waves to create images of organs, tissues, and blood flow. It is particularly useful for monitoring pregnancies, examining abdominal organs, and assessing blood flow.

Ultrasound imaging at Chase Lodge Imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. It is a safe, non-invasive procedure used for a variety of diagnostic purposes.
