Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultrasound is noninvasive, meaning it does not require entering the body or breaking the skin. It is generally less expensive than other imaging modalities like MRI or CT scans. Ultrasound procedures can be performed relatively quickly, making them convenient for both patients and healthcare providers. Importantly, ultrasound uses sound waves instead of ionizing radiation, which is used in X-rays and CT scans, making it a safer option, especially for pregnant women and fetuses. While ultrasound does provide good resolution, especially for soft tissue imaging, it may not always offer the high resolution that modalities like MRI can provide for certain types of tissues or conditions, hence why "High resolution" is not selected.
