Dr/nurses- Is there a difference b/w an ultrasound and a sonogram?
one of my friends is having one and said the dr said he is sending her for a 'sonogram' and her script says Ultra sound and when she made the appointment , the girl said what are you getting an ultra sound of? Now I am curious, are they one in the same?
