An ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the inside of the body, including fatty tumors. When an ultrasound is performed, the sound waves bounce off various tissues, producing echoes that are then converted into visual images. Fatty tumors typically appear as areas of reduced echogenicity (darker spots) compared to surrounding tissues due to their composition. The ultrasound can help determine the size, shape, and location of the tumor, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
