ECHOGRAPHY

Last updated : 22/09/2019 - 2 views

An echography is an external examination that allows caregivers to explore the anatomy and functioning of certain organs. The doctor places a probe on the patient’s skin close to the organ to be examined. This probe emits ultrasounds that go through tissues, which are then sent back as echoes. The signal is then analysed by a computerised system which re-transmits a live image on a screen. It’s a fast and painless exam.
