Using sound waves to create an image sounds strange, but that’s what an ultrasound does. Medical professionals use high-frequency sound waves to create a negative image of the fetus in your uterus. An instrument called a transducer is used to record the echoes of the sound waves as they bounce back. These sound waves create a digital image that is visible for you to see on a screen. A fetal Doppler may also be used to detect and hear the heartbeat and viability of the fetus.
Different medical procedures use ultrasound. It can be used to detect and treat an athlete’s injuries. A doctor can use ultrasound to locate a specific area for a biopsy.
Ultrasounds provide real-time information. You’ll know what is happening inside your body at the time you see the images. To make any decision regarding your pregnancy, including choosing abortion, you need to have the information you’ll only get from this procedure.
