An ultrasound scan is performed using a hand-held scanner, or transducer, connected to a computer.
High frequency sound waves are sent into the body.
As the sound waves bounce around, the echoes are converted to electrical impulses that show a picture on a screen..
Ultrasound wave is produced when an electric current is applied to an array of piezoelectric crystals.
This causes distortion of the crystals, makes them vibrate and produce this acoustic wave.
The summation of the waves produces an ultrasound beam.
The ultrasound waves are produced in pulses..
What are the types of ultrasound scans? The common types of ultrasound scan are: abdominal ultrasound, which examines the internal organs of the abdomen, such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen. obstetric/pregnancy ultrasound, which is a routine scan to assess the growth and health of the baby..
Sonography is the application of ultrasound technology to diagnose medical conditions.
Sonographers are trained medical technicians who perform ultrasounds, generate images of your body, and provide doctors with the images.
Sonography is sometimes called ultrasonography..
The main effects of ultrasonic are revealed to be mechanical effects (acoustic cavitation) and rupture of plant cell walls, resulting in increased water uptake..

Description.
Ultrasound imaging (sonography) uses high-frequency sound waves to view inside the body.
Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can also show movement of the body's internal organs as well as blood flowing through the blood vessels..
An ultrasound scan is generally non-invasive.
Common reasons for ultrasound scanning include investigations of a person's abdominal and pelvic organs, musculoskeletal and vascular systems, and to check fetal development during pregnancy..
One of the most common uses of ultrasound is during pregnancy, to monitor the growth and development of the fetus, but there are many other uses, including imaging the heart, blood vessels, eyes, thyroid, brain, breast, abdominal organs, skin, and muscles..
An ultrasound scan, sometimes called a sonogram, is a procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of part of the inside of the body.
An ultrasound scan can be used to monitor an unborn baby, diagnose a condition, or guide a surgeon during certain procedures..
THE NATURE OF ULTRASOUND
Ultrasonic waves are waves of frequency above the audible frequencies the human ear.
In medical diagnostics are used ultrasound frequencies between 3 and 10 MHz.
The most important parameters describing the wave are (1): Wavelength..
It was Ian Donald who first fused ultrasound with diagnostic medicine in 1956.
Naturally, his first use of the device was to determine the diameter of the head of a fetus.
In only two years, technology helped create a way to visualize the findings of an ultrasound, increasing sits life-saving diagnostic potential..
Invention of ultrasound
Well, in the year of 1956, ultrasound was first used for medical purposes.
Glasgow was the place where it saw its first light.
Besides, ultrasound was the brainchild of engineer Tom Brown and Obstetrician Ian Donald.
They were the first people who crafted the prototype system..
