Another aspect which makes ultrasound different from other imaging techniques is that ultrasound images can be seen in real-time. This means that ultrasounds have the ability to show the movement of blood through blood vessels and more.

Were You Diagnosed With Stage 0 Bladder Tumours? See the Treatment Your Doctor Will Likely Recommend
