Diagnostic sonography ( ultrasonography ) is an ultrasound -based diagnostic imaging technique used for visualizing subcutaneous body structures including tendons , muscles , joints, vessels and internal organs for possible pathology or lesions . Obstetric sonography is commonly used during pregnancy and is widely recognized by the public. In physics, the term ultrasound applies to all sound waves with a frequency above the audible range of human hearing, about 20 kHz. The frequencies used in diagnostic ultrasound are typically between 2 and 18 MHz.
