Ultrasound is a common diagnostic tool in pregnancy because of its ability to provide a picture of the body's interior using high-frequency sound waves. One of the most important uses of ultrasound imaging is to verify a pregnancy's viability. Although obstetric Ajax ultrasounds can be conducted at any point in a pregnant woman's journey, the earliest an embryo is normally detected with a heartbeat is at around six weeks gestation.   Ultrasound imaging, sometimes called sonography, involves sending sound waves into the body and recording their echoes with the use of a tiny transducer (probe). To do this, the sound waves are directed into the region to be investigated until they encounter a tissue barrier, such as the one between fluid and soft tissue or soft tissue and bone. Some of the sonic waves are reflected back to the probe at these borders, while others continue onward. Since the speed, direction, and distance travelled by sound waves vary depending on the barrier t
