A specially designed transducer probe can be placed in the vagina to provide better ultrasound images. This transvaginal or endovaginal scan is particularly useful in early pregnancy or in cases where ectopic pregnancy is suspected.

What is the difference between an ultrasound and a sonogram?

Ultrasound is the name of the proceedure; a Sonogram is the picture image produced by an ultrasound scan.Therapeutic ultrasoud uses low frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the injured tissue during rehabilitation. This form of ultrasound creates heat using the lower frequencies, and the heat will help heal the injury. These sound waves are sent into the body using a transducer with no intent or way to capture any return they may have. Thus, no image is created. The sound waves are instead used and converted into heat energy.Medical ultrasound used for imaging purposes, including pregnancy, uses higher frequency sound waves. The transducer (the small wand-like structure used during the exam on the skin surface) creates these sound waves, sends them into the body, and when they bounce off of structures and return to the transducer they are captured and converted to mechanical energy and displayed on the monitor.

What is the Process of recording sound waves to make image of organs?

The process of recording sound waves to create an image of organs is known as ultrasound imaging. During an ultrasound scan, high-frequency sound waves are emitted from a transducer and bounce off internal structures in the body. The returning sound waves are then translated into an image that can be used to visualize organs and tissues in real-time.
