What is Ultrasound diagnostic?
The examination through an ultrasound machine in the Ob/Gyn practice is routine, safe, noninvasive and precise. The frequency of the device is 1-10 MHz. The diagnostic is based on the visualization and analysis of the ultrasound waves, reflected from the body parts, which are the object of the machine transducer. The visualization could be in 2D, 3D and 4D mode. When used for Ob/Gyn examinations, ultrasound visualises the location, shape, size, and structure of the uterus and ovaries.
