"Ultrasounds may be used to capture images of soft tissue organs such as the gallbladder, liver, kidneys, pancreas, bladder, and other organs and parts of the body. These images are used to help determine if there is any abnormality, such as a growth or malformation. Ultrasound can also measure the flow of blood in the arteries to detect blockages."

Doctors employ ultrasound imaging in diagnosing a wide variety of conditions affecting the organs and soft tissues of the body, including the heart and blood vessels, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, uterus, ovaries, eyes, thyroid, and testicles. Radiographers are trained to know what where anatomical structures are located and to see abnormalities in those structures. The interviewer wants to know that you know possibilities of what may be detected when you perform an ultrasound.
