| | General Ultrasound Imaging |
 | | Because ultrasound provides real-time images it can also be used to guide procedures such as needle biopsies, in which needles are used to sample cells from organs for laboratory testing. | | | Doppler ultrasound is a special technique used to examine blood flow. | | | Ultrasound uses no ionizing radiation and is the preferred image modality for diagnosis and monitoring of pregnant women and their unborn infants. |

| | Medical ultrasonography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The use of microbubble contrast media in medical sonography to improve ultrasound signal backscatter is known as contrast enhanced ultrasound. | | | Even in the absence of bone or air, the depth penetration of ultrasound is limited, making it difficult to image structures that are far removed from the body surface, especially in obese patients. | | | This technique is currently used in echocardiography, and may have future applications in molecular imaging and drug delivery. |

| | If a patient’s ultrasound and mammogram results are both negative (no evidence of cancer is seen), but the physician is still concerned about the thickening or mass, then he/she may proceed further with a fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) of the area. | | | Ultrasound may help detect some breast masses and is the best way to determine whether a cyst is present without placing a needle into the area of concern to aspirate fluid. | | | Physicians use ultrasound during core and fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNA) to determine where to place the needle. |

| | Ultrasound: Everything you need to know |
| | An ultrasound (sometimes called a sonogram) is a noninvasive diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create a visual image of your uterus, baby, and placenta, and allows your practitioner to gather valuable information about the progress of your pregnancy and your baby's health. | | | But the main purpose of the ultrasound is to provide you and your practitioner with important information about your baby's health and development. | | | Later in pregnancy, if there's any concern that your baby is not growing properly, your practitioner may schedule an ultrasound (or a series of them) to measure certain parts of his body. |
