Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultrasonography uses high frequency sound waves and their echoes to create an image of internal organs or structures. It does not involve X-rays or radioactive materials. Amniocentesis is a separate medical procedure used to collect and analyze a sample of amniotic fluid. Abdominal X-rays do not use sound waves and are not a form of ultrasonography.
