Ultrasound, also known as sonography or ultrasonography, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. These images, called sonograms, help doctors visualize organs, tissues, and blood flow, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. It's a safe, non-invasive procedure that does not involve ionizing radiation. 

A pelvic ultrasound, also known as a lower abdominal ultrasound, is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the organs and structures within the lower abdomen and pelvis. It's a valuable tool for diagnosing various conditions related to the reproductive and urinary systems in both males and females. 

An upper abdominal ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create pictures of the organs and structures in the upper abdomen. It helps diagnose various conditions and assess the health of organs like the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and major blood vessels. The procedure is painless and relatively quick, typically taking 10-15 minutes

A transvaginal ultrasound is a relatively quick, painless imaging procedure that provides a more detailed view of your pelvic organs than a traditional abdominal ultrasound provides. Your provider may order this imaging procedure to explore what’s causing your symptoms, diagnose a condition, monitor your pregnancy or plan for surgery. It’s one of the most common, most useful diagnostic tools your provider can use to provide you care.

Obstetric ultrasound, also known as prenatal ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of a developing embryo or fetus, the uterus, and ovaries in a pregnant woman. It's a safe and non-invasive method used throughout pregnancy to monitor fetal development, assess the health of the mother and baby, and detect potential complications. 

Ultrasound scans are crucial for monitoring twin pregnancies, allowing for the detection of potential complications and ensuring the well-being of both fetuses. The frequency and timing of scans depend on the type of twins (dichorionic or monochorionic) and the presence of any complications

A Biophysical Profile (BPS) ultrasound, also known as a Biophysical Profile (BPP), is a prenatal test used to assess fetal well-being, typically performed after the 28th week of pregnancy. It combines ultrasound imaging with a non-stress test to evaluate fetal movements, muscle tone, breathing patterns, amniotic fluid levels, and heart rate. 

A soft tissue ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize and assess various soft tissues in the body, including skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and certain organs like the thyroid and breasts. It's a valuable tool for diagnosing a range of conditions, from infections and injuries to masses and fluid collections. 

A testicular or scrotal ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the testicles and surrounding tissues in the scrotum. It's a safe, non-invasive procedure used to diagnose various conditions affecting the scrotum, testicles, and epididymis
