It's an ultrasound scanner.
It works by sending out a wave of very high frequency sound waves into the body. The sound waves are reflected back from boudaries between fluid and solid matter, where the physics of sound waves affects how the wave travels. The 'echo' is detected by the scanner and displayed graphically on a screen.
Used by radiographers in the UK and ultrasonographers / sonographers in the US.

Apart from the above uses - it's also used by the navy, slightly larger though.

You know it better as ultrasound (when scanning a pregnant lady to see the foetus).
