a diagnostic tool used to get a picture of the heart or other structures within the body
A method used to obtain images for medical diagnostic purposes by measuring the transmission of frequency or ultrasonic waves
This technique uses sound waves to make pictures of the body organs Since no ionizing radiation (X-rays) are used, it is ideal for looking at pregnant women and their fetuses, but also has many other uses It is often used for the neck, abdomen, pelvis, and soft tissues including blood vessels in the arms and legs
sound with a frequency greater than the upper limit of human hearing; approximately 20 kilohertz
Ultrasound is the use of sound with a frequency higher than 20,000 Hz to obtain images for medical diagnostic purposes
A technique using high-frequency sound to image internal organs and tissue, non-invasively
a diagnostic technique which uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the internal organs
A technique for imaging internal structures of the body by measuring and recording the reflection of pulsed or continuous high-frequency sound waves
a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the internal organs
a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels
Ultrasound is sound waves which travel at such a high frequency that they cannot be heard by humans. Ultrasound is used in medicine to get pictures of the inside of people's bodies. I had an ultrasound scan to see how the pregnancy was progressing. or ultrasonography Use of ultrasonic waves to produce images of body structures. The waves travel through tissues and are reflected back where density differs (e.g., the border between a hollow organ's wall and its inside). The reflected echoes are received by an electronic apparatus that measures their intensity level and the position of the tissue reflecting them. The results can be displayed as still images or as a moving picture of the inside of the body. Unlike X rays or other ionizing radiation, ultrasound carries minimal, if any, risk. Most often used during pregnancy to examine the fetus, ultrasound imaging is also used on internal organs, the eye, breast, and major blood vessels. It can often show whether a growth is benign or malignant. See also diagnostic imaging
n Technique that uses sound waves to produce an image The pattern of echoes produced when the sound wave is reflected off normal tissues and tumors are different, allowing a mass to be identified
This screening is done with equipment that uses high-frequency sound waves to form pictures of the fetus on a computer screen The test can verify due date; determine causes of bleeding; check the overall health, development, sex, and position of the baby; measure the amniotic fluid; and check the condition of the placenta
Ultrasound refers to sound waves which are beyond the range of our hearing Specially trained professional can use ultrasound equipment to apply deep heat to an injured area
