What is Paediatric Ultrasound?

Paediatric Ultrasound is a safe and widely used real time imaging technique which can be performed on infants and children. It uses high frequency sound waves which are produced by a special ultrasound probe, called a transducer. The frequency of these sound waves is higher than can be detected by the human ear. The sound waves bounce off parts of the body and are detected by the probe, then used to create images that can be displayed on a monitor.
