An Ultrasound Scan is a Clinical Investigation.
An Ultrasound Scan (also known as a Sonogram) is a procedure that uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of part of the inside of the body, such as the heart.
Ultrasound Scans can be used:
- to help doctors make a diagnosis or to assess the effects of a treatment
- to study blood flow and to detect any narrowing or blocking of blood vessels
- during a Maternity Episode to produce images of the baby in the womb.
