Ultrasound Examination

 

An ultrasound examination is a procedure in which high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissues called a sonogram.

 

Any parents will probably recognise the machine as the one which prints the picture of the unborn child.

 

The procedure is completely painless; but be warned, the coating of clear gel that they put on your stomach is usually very cold.

 

Pain rating 0/10
