What is an ultrasound?
An ultrasound scan is a non-invasive method of producing images of the body’s interior using high frequency sound waves. A computer converts the information into a moving picture that is displayed on a monitor. It is a method of examining deeper structures without ionising radiation. It is used to assess for soft tissue and joint pathologies, and a guide for injection placement.
