Sonography
Sonography
Sonography is a type of scanning technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body. It is also known as ultrasound.
We at Ambai Multispecialty Hospital use high-frequency sound waves to visualize internal soft tissue structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, vessels, and internal organs. These sound waves are produced by a transducer and are reflected back from the internal tissues at varying speeds owing to the densities of the different tissue structures.
