Patient's question:
Going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor sometimes says an ultrasound examination is needed, and sometimes says a B-ultrasound examination is needed. Are these two the same? What are the differences between B-ultrasound and ultrasound examination?Doctor's answer:
B is the most commonly used type of ultrasound examination, and also the most common. The prenatal ultrasound you mentioned should be a color Doppler ultrasound. These two are different. The most intuitive difference is that color Doppler ultrasound is colored and can better explore the condition of the baby in the mother's abdomen. The resolution of the two is also different. Color Doppler ultrasound is clearer. B developed on the basis of ultrasound, converting the sound wave information reflected by tissues and organs at different depths into grayscale images.
