    Question

    The technology that uses the reflection of ultrasound waves to produce images of the heart is known as:

    A.

    echocardiography


    B.

    ultrasonography


    C.

    echocardiogram


    D.

    sonography

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (A) echocardiography.

    • Echocardiography is a diagnostic technique that uses ultrasound waves to produce real-time images of the heart. It helps in assessing the heart's structure and function.
    • It involves the reflection of ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart chambers, valves, and surrounding areas.

    Information Booster:

    • Ultrasonography: This is a broader term referring to the use of ultrasound to create images of various parts of the body (e.g., abdomen, liver, kidneys, etc.), not specifically the heart.

    • Echocardiogram: This refers to the resulting image or recording produced by echocardiography, not the technique itself.

    •  Sonography: Similar to ultrasonography, this is a general term for imaging using sound waves and is not specific to the heart.
