Fees apply Medical ultrasound is an increasingly important part of modern medical imaging.
It is taking over from many of the traditional forms of imaging. For example, the biliary system is routinely imaged using ultrasound rather than x-rays. It is a relatively safe form of imaging because it does not use ionising radiation. For this reason it has become the modality of choice for ante-natal screening. There are very few areas of the body which cannot be imaged by ultrasound.
