Solution

The correct option is C False
An echocardiogram (also called an echo) is a type of ultrasound test that uses high-pitched sound waves that are sent through a device called a transducer. The device picks up echoes of the sound waves as they bounce off from the different parts of the heart. These echoes are turned into moving pictures of the heart that can be seen on a video screen.
Hence, the statement is false.
