What does a "negative" sonography report signify?

A "negative" sonography report signifies that no abnormalities were detected during the examination. In medical terminology, "negative" typically means that the test results do not show the presence of any disease, condition, or issue that was being assessed. In the context of sonography, this implies that the structures being examined appear normal and that there are no findings that warrant further investigation or concern.

This understanding is crucial for both patients and practitioners, as it helps in the interpretation of results. A negative report can provide reassurance that there are no complications or conditions present, allowing for appropriate clinical decisions to be made based on the absence of abnormalities.
