Definitions and examples of Fetus Ultrasounds are presented in two views.
An ultrasound of a fetus uses high frequency sound waves to create a live image from inside of the mother’s body. It is a painless test that is very commonly used in the medical field today. An ultrasound is also sometimes referred to as a sonogram, diagnostic sonography, or ultrasonography. The medical professional that performs an ultrasound is called a sonographer.
