  "term": "Ultrasonography",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of internal body structures. The sound waves are emitted by a transducer and reflect off tissues, with the echoes being processed to form a visual representation. This non-invasive method is widely used in obstetrics to monitor fetal development and diagnose abnormalities during gestation.",
