What is Ultrasonography?

Ultrasonography (USG), commonly known as ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the internal structures of the body. This non-invasive procedure is widely used in medicine for various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, providing detailed visuals of organs, tissues, and blood flow without the need for incisions or exposure to ionizing radiation.

Why is Ultrasonography used?

Ovarian Reserve Assessment:Evaluates the quantity and quality of a woman's remaining eggs using antral follicle count.
Uterine and Endometrial Evaluation: Identifies structural abnormalities in the uterus and assesses endometrial lining for receptivity.
Monitoring Follicular Development: Tracks the growth of ovarian follicles during stimulation to optimize medication dosages and timing.
Guiding Egg Retrieval: Ensures precise needle placement during oocyte aspiration by providing real-time imaging.
Evaluating Endometrial Receptivity:Checks the thickness and pattern of the endometrial lining before embryo transfer.
Guiding Embryo Transfer: Ensures correct placement of the embryo(s) within the uterus for better implantation chances.
Confirming and Monitoring Early Pregnancy: Visualizes the gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal heartbeat to confirm and track pregnancy progression.
Identifying Complications: Detects ectopic pregnancies and monitors multiple pregnancies for potential risks.

Advantages of Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is a preferred diagnostic tool for several reasons:

Non-invasive Nature:

Unlike surgical procedures, ultrasonography does not require any incisions. This reduces the risk of complications and makes it a safer option for patients.

No Ionizing Radiation:

Ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, which can be harmful in excess doses or with repeated exposure. This makes it a safer and convenient option, especially for pregnant women and children.

Real-time Imaging:

Ultrasound provides real-time images, allowing for immediate assessment and decision-making. This is useful in emergency situations or during procedures like biopsies.

Versatility:

USG can be used to examine almost any part of the body, including the abdomen, pelvis, heart, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal system. It is also instrumental in monitoring fetal development during pregnancy.
