2. ultrasound
   In ultrasound procedures, high-frequency sound waves are used to create a moving image, or sonogram, on a television screen. Ultrasound images can be used to diagnose infertility and other medical problems. Often carried out at various stages of pregnancy, ultrasound scans can help to identify multiple fetuses and detect anomalies.
