Ultrasound is one of the most common imaging tools in modern medicine. It is non-invasive and completely safe, even for pregnant women.

Types of Ultrasound:

• Regular (2D) Ultrasound: To image internal organs.
• 3D Ultrasound: To visualize tissues in a three-dimensional manner.
• 4D Ultrasound: Commonly used to monitor the fetus, showing its movement in real time.
• Internal Ultrasound (vaginal or rectal): To more accurately assess pelvic or prostate conditions.

Benefits of Ultrasound:

• Diagnosing cysts or tumors.
• Monitoring pregnancy and fetal development.
• Examining the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, thyroid, and other organs.

When is an Ultrasound Requested?

When experiencing unexplained abdominal or pelvic symptoms, or to monitor any internal health problem, an ultrasound is the first tool for evaluation before resorting to more complex tests.
