Ultrasound:

• Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the internal structures of the body.
• It is a non-invasive and painless imaging technique.
• Ultrasound can provide real-time imaging, allowing for dynamic assessment of organs, blood flow, and movement.
• It is commonly used for imaging organs such as the liver, kidneys, uterus, ovaries, and developing fetus during pregnancy.
• Ultrasound is also used for guided procedures such as biopsies or injections.
• Doppler ultrasound can assess blood flow and detect abnormalities in blood vessels.
• Ultrasound does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation, making it safe for repeated use, including during pregnancy.

X-ray:

• X-ray uses ionizing radiation to create images of the internal structures of the body.
• It is a quick and widely available imaging technique.
• X-ray is commonly used to visualize bones, joints, and the lungs.
• It is particularly useful for detecting fractures, evaluating joint conditions, and diagnosing lung diseases.
• X-ray images are static and do not provide real-time or dynamic information.
• Contrast agents can be used during certain types of X-ray exams to enhance the visibility of specific structures or organs.
• X-ray involves low doses of radiation, and the benefits of the diagnostic information usually outweigh the associated risks.
