USG, also known as ultrasonography or ultrasound scan, is a safe and
non-invasive procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create
live pictures from the inside of the body. Ultrasound scanning is often
performed on pregnant women to assess the health of the baby. Ultrasound
is also used to guide surgeons while performing biopsies and other
surgical procedures. Apart from pregnancy any condition that causes
pain, swelling or other symptoms that require a view of your internal
organs may necessitate an ultrasound examination.Ultrasound examinations may be performed to examineHeartBlood vesselsKidneysBladderPancreasSpleenEyesThyroidTesticlesBrain, hips and spine in infants
