'''Diagnostic ultrasonography''' is the use of [[ultrasound]] to visualize hidden body structures. This medical imaging technique is used to display [[muscle]]s, [[tendon]]s, and other internal organs. It makes it easier to assess damage done to these structures. '''Obstetric sonography''' is the name for a number of tests done during the [[pregnancy]] of a woman. Diagnostic sonography has a wide field of use, including [[emergency medicine]], where it is regularly performed on patients which are in a state of  [[Shock (circulatory)|shock]] or [[trauma]]. This test is known as [[Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma]]. It can detect any fluid in the body cavities. Doctors can then decide whether life-saving surgery must be performed.
