Question

noah and avery are curious about how doctors can see a developing baby inside the womb. which procedure uses high energy sound waves to make this possible?
std testing
ultrasound
glucose screening
x - ray

Explanation:

To determine the correct procedure, we analyze each option:

• STD testing: Used to detect sexually transmitted diseases, not for visualizing a fetus.
• Ultrasound: Utilizes high - energy sound waves (ultrasound waves) to create images of internal structures, including a developing baby in the womb.
• Glucose screening: Used to test for gestational diabetes, not for fetal visualization.
• X - ray: Uses ionizing radiation and is generally not used for routine fetal imaging due to potential risks and its limited ability to visualize soft tissues like a fetus in detail.

Answer:

B. ultrasound
