What is Ultrasonography?

Ultrasonography, or ultrasound, is an imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the inside of your body. It is commonly used in fertility treatments to monitor the ovaries, uterus, and developing follicles, and to guide procedures such as egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and early pregnancy scans.

At New Hope Fertility Centre, we utilize state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to gather real-time, high-resolution images, ensuring that we provide you with the most accurate and reliable information to support your fertility journey.
