Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.

Ultrasound or sonography involves the sending of sound waves through the body. Those sound waves are reflected off the internal organs.
