Ultrasound is a medical imaging modality that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the internal organs of the body. It is equipped with a transducer that transmits the high-frequency ultrasonic sound waves into the body of the patient. These sound waves are then reflected by the body organs into the transducer and are transmitted to a display that generates the image.
