Etymology

The word 'sonography' is derived from the combination of 'sono-' which comes from the Latin word 'sonus' meaning 'sound', and '-graphy' from the Greek 'grapho' meaning 'to write' or 'to record'. The term was first used in the mid-20th century as medical imaging technology advanced, particularly with the development of ultrasound technology. Originally used primarily for obstetric examinations to visualize fetal development, sonography has since evolved to assist in the diagnosis of numerous medical conditions across various specialties. Over decades, with improvements in techniques and equipment, sonography has become a critical tool in modern medicine, valued for its safety, effectiveness, and versatility.
