An ultrasound is a useful procedure used to view images of blood vessels, tissues and organs.  High-frequency sound waves are used which make echoes.  The echo patterns are picked up and displayed on the ultrasound machine screen.

Ultrasounds may be used to examine the heart, abdomen, and internal structures of the baby's brain.  Ultrasounds are painless and provide much information about the health of an unborn baby.
