▪ Ultrasound: A radiological procedure that uses sound waves with a frequency well above the range of human hearing that can penetrate under the skin and, much like sonar, reflect off structures within the body, producing an image that can be used to diagnose illness. Because the sound waves are harmless, the procedure can be used on any patient, even pregnant women or persons with metal pins in their body. However, the penetration of the waves is limited to the first few inches below the skin, and as such cannot be used to scan structures deep inside the body, such as bones.
