Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is a relatively safe diagnostic medical procedure where sound waves are introduced into the body using a transducer. The sound waves bounce off the bones and tissues in the body and produce a black and white image on a monitor. The procedure is safe because it does not use ionizing radiation like an x-ray or CAT scan, which should be avoided in pregnancy. Our consultant, Dr. Shweta Singh carries out all the ultrasounds herself to help aid in the diagnosis.
