The study of organs and their function inside the patient utilizing a machine that emits sound waves and interprets their echoes to create a real-time image, just like a bat assessing it’s environment using echolocation.
Ultrasound has a broad spectrum of medical applications, ranging from diagnosing heart conditions to examining the structure and function of other organs. It’s a valuable tool for guiding procedures such as biopsies and aspirations, ensuring accuracy and minimizing potential complications.
The technique involves the emission of high-frequency sound waves into the body, which bounce off internal structures and return as echoes. These echoes are then processed by a computer to create detailed images. Ultrasound’s versatility and safety make it an indispensable diagnostic tool in modern healthcare.
