What is an ultrasound scan and a Doppler echo?

The ultrasound scan is a simple, fast, non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses sound waves (ultrasounds) to generate images of organs, tissue and structures inside the body. During the scan, the specialist slides a device called a transducer over the part of the body to be studied. This transducer sends sound waves (ultrasounds) that bounce off different organs and tissues, forming the image.
