Answer:

Ultrasound

Step-by-step explanation:

Ultrasound is extensively used in the field of medicine to study the internal organs , which are not visible externally. It helps in getting the details of the abnormalities in the abdomen, liver etc. For identifying diseases like cancer, this technique of ultrasound imaging is not of that much benefit. In identifying such diseases, CT scan or Magnetic resonance imaging techniques are preferred since those give much better information than just the ultrasound.
