Imaging technique that creates a picture of internal body structures from differentially reflected ultrasound waves.

Note: By using this technique, the human embryo can be observed in utero as early as \(\pu{5 1\!{/}\! 2 weeks}\) of gestation: fetal monitoring by this technique (obstetric ultrasound) is standard.
