What is spinal ultrasound?

Also known as: ultrasound of the spine, spine ultrasound, back ultrasound.

Ultrasound is a medical imaging test that uses sound waves emanating from a special machine to produce images of the body. The test is frequently used to produce images of infants before they are born. When ultrasound is used to generate images of the spine, this is known as a spinal ultrasound.
