Sonography, also known as ultrasound imaging, is a safe and non-invasive diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create images of organs, tissues and other structures inside the body. It does not use ionising radiation.
At Masters of Scopy, sonography is part of our Diagnostics & Wellness services, helping doctors evaluate symptoms, monitor certain conditions and guide further medical care when required.
Ultrasound can provide useful information about different organs and soft tissues. Your doctor may recommend a scan based on your symptoms, medical history or as part of a routine evaluation.
