Sonography, also known as ultrasonography, is a type of diagnostic procedure using high frequency sound waves in order to generate vibrant images of blood flow, organs and tissues inside the body.

Sonography tests can be used to effectively diagnose problems with several parts of the body like the blood vessels, breasts, heart, reproductive system, heart and prostrate. Sonography tests are being used more and more to detect and treat vascular diseases, heart attacks and heart disease that could cause a stroke. Sonography can also be used to guide needles for tissue biopsies to take cell samples from the body to be tested in the lab. Because sonography is does not contain radiation, it can be used when X-rays are too dangerous.

A number of different sonography tests are used in specialized fields, such as:

The cuff is inflated by hand, by squeezing a rubber bulb. Digital monitors have either manual or automatic cuffs. The blood pressure reading flashes on a small screen. Choose the type of monitor that best suits your needs.

Migraine headache is often described as an intense pulsing or throbbing pain in one area of the head. It is often accompanied by extreme sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine is three times more common in women than in men.

Migraine headache is caused by a combination of vasodilatation (enlargement of blood vessels) and the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around the blood vessels. During a migraine attack, the temporal artery enlarges.

Blood pressure refers to the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, and constitutes one of the principal vital signs. The pressure of the circulating blood decreases as blood moves through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and veins; the term blood pressure generally refers to arterial pressure, i.e., the pressure in the larger arteries, the blood vessels that take blood away from the heart. Arterial pressure is most commonly measured via a sphygmomanometer, which historically used the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure . Today blood pressure values are still reported in millimetres of mercury (mmHg), though aneroid and electronic devices do not usemercury.

Basically blood circulation in the human body is managed by two different sets of blood vessels. High blood pressure, which is also known as hypertension, is a condition in which there is an elevation of pressure in the blood vessels of the systemic circulation. Then there is pulmonary hypertension which is similar but which is a much rarer disease, and which results from a constriction of the blood vessels that supply blood to the lungs.
