What is ultrasound?

Ultrasound , also known as Sonography, is a method of medical imaging that uses sound waves to image the soft tissues inside the body. Sound waves pass through the body and according to their frequency, the signals are converted into images on the computer. Ultrasound can also be used for tissue or fluid sampling.

?How do I prepare for an ultrasound

Depending on your medical history, your doctor may prescribe special preparations in addition to the routine preparations.

Abdominal ultrasound:

Avoid eating and drinking from midnight before until the time of your turn. The patient can take his pills and medicines with a small amount of water.

You can take pills and prescription drugs with a small amount of water.

Biophysical ultrasound:

About an hour before the appointment time, eat a meal preferably containing carbohydrates.

* Patients who have a pregnancy ultrasound at the same time as a biophysical ultrasound should also make the following preparations comply
