Ultrasonography is the use of ultrasonic waves to create an image of the area and should not be confused with shock wave treatment to break down kidney stones. Ultrasonography is a diagnostic procedure and it is the preferred option for pregnant women. While it is a quick and easy procedure that can be conducted on the examination bed, kidney stones may be missed by this imaging technique, especially if the operator is not skilled at interpreting the images.Diagnostic sonography (ultrasonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize 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 acoustic energy (longitudinal, mechanical wave) with a frequency above the audible range of human hearing. The audible range of sound is 20 hertz-20 kilohertz. Ultrasound is frequency greater than 20 kilohertz.

Color Doppler ultrasonic diagnostic system is composed of advanced technology of digital color Doppler and wide frequency probe, internet applications system with general measuring function, kinds of leading image process technology, which reaches to leading level in the world. It is whole-body applied digital color ultrasonic diagnosis system of Haiying ultrasonic family with clear image.The system is a 128 channel, high resolution ultrasound imaging system with patented Adaptive Focusing which enables high performance ultrasound imaging from 2MHz to 10MHz.

Echocardiography was an early medical application of ultrasound. Echocardiography was also the first application of intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound. This technique injects gas-filled microbubbles into the venous system to improve tissue and blood delineation. Contrast is also currently being evaluated for its effectiveness in evaluating myocardial perfusion. It can also be used with Doppler ultrasound to improve flow-related measurements (see Doppler echocardiography). Echocardiography is either performed by cardiac sonographers,cardiac physiologists(UK) or doctors trained in cardiology.

In medicine, pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease. The related scientific study of disease processes is called "general pathology". Medical pathology is divided into two main branches, anatomical pathology and clinical pathology. Medical pathologists work through examination of organs, tissues, bodily fluids, and whole bodies (autopsies).
