    What is an Ultrasound?

    Ultrasound uses sound waves to form pictures of your internal organs that appear on a screen. It can help assess pain or other symptoms. It can help detect organ problems, such as gallstones, kidney stones, liver, breast and thyroid disease or pain in the pelvis. In pregnant women, it is used to check the fetus (unborn baby). The test is done by moving a probe over the skin to view the structures below. This test involves no radiation and is considered harmless.
