The sound waves bounce off the organs inside your body, and the probe picks them up. The probe links to a computer that turns the sound waves into a picture on the screen.

Ultrasound scans aren't painful but can cause some discomfort.

You might have it at one of the following:

• your GP surgery
• local community clinic
• in your hospital x-ray department

A specialist healthcare professional called a sonographer usually does the test.
