Ultrasound Pros and Cons

  • Doesn't cause ionising - no cancer risk
  • Can be used for pre-natal scanning
  • Can help diagnose conditions - such as in the kidneys or liver

Disadvantages

  • No as good/clear picture quality - not as much detail

Evaluation

Ultrasound is generally safe, however at the cost of this the images are not as clear and detailed.
