Ultrasound, otherwise known as ultrasonography or sonography, is a procedure in which sound waves are used to show structures in the human body. The sound waves reflect off of internal organs and other anatomic structures to create images, which a radiologist can use to determine if the internal anatomy looks normal or abnormal. No ionizing radiation is used in an ultrasound procedure.
Ultrasound is a real-time imaging method, meaning the images are obtained continuously in a manner similar to a video camera. Real-time ultrasound can show the movement of internal tissues and organs, such as the flow of blood in arteries and veins, or the movement of a baby in a mother's uterus .
Hysterosonography, also known as sonohysterography or saline infusion sonography, is a minimally invasive ultrasound technique used in women to view the inside of the uterus. Sterile saline is injected into the endometrial cavity through a small catheter while a transvaginal ultrasound is performed. This allows real-time imaging of the uterus as the saline is put inside. The saline fills and distends (expands) the endometrial cavity, providing good visualization of the anatomic structures within.
