Ultrasound imaging, also known as diagnostic sonography or ultrasonography is a diagnostic imaging technique based on the application of ultrasound.
It is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs.
Ultrasound refers to sound waves with frequencies which are higher than those audible to humans. Ultrasonic images, also known as sonograms are made by sending pulses of ultrasound into tissue using a probe.
It is substantially lower in cost than other imaging modalities and does not use harmful ionizing radiation.
So, the correct answer is 'Sonography'.
