"A sonogram, also known as an ultrasound, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal structures in the body.

During a sonogram, a technician applies a special gel to the skin and uses a handheld device to capture the sound waves as they bounce off internal organs or tissues.
