"Ultrasound technology can be used to help diagnose cysts or abnormal growths in the liver, spleen, or pancreas, abnormal enlargement of the spleen, fatty liver, gallstones or sludge in the gallbladder. It is also used to evaluate female disorders, such as fibroids, and to monitor the growth of a fetus during pregnancy."

While an ultrasound result is not a definitive diagnosis for some disorders, it is used in diagnosing others. When a physician writes an order for an ultrasound, the diagnosis code and type of test will tell the radiographer what he is looking for. The interviewer wants to know that you are aware of common diagnosis that may be detected while performing an ultrasound.
