Ultrasound scans are used to see the inside of the human body to diagnose certain conditions or monitor an unborn baby. They work in a way that uses high-frequency sound waves for creating an image of a body part or organ. This is achieved by a small probe that gives off high-frequency sound waves. They can’t be heard though, but they show an image that the doctors use.

To examine your heart or unborn baby, Sangi Hospital's doctor will perform an ultrasound scan. Besides this, an ultrasound scan can be used for examining other organs in your stomach and the pelvic area, and this is done by pressing the probe against your skin and moving it around over the part that’s being looked at.
