Image for B-mode Ultrasound

B-mode Ultrasound

B-mode ultrasound, also known as brightness mode ultrasound, is a technique that creates real-time images of the inside of the body. It uses high-frequency sound waves that bounce off tissues, organs, and structures. These echoes are captured and translated into a visual image displayed on a monitor, where different tissues appear as varying shades of gray based on their density. B-mode ultrasound helps healthcare providers examine soft tissues, detect abnormalities, and guide certain procedures without using radiation. It's a safe, non-invasive, and widely used imaging method for diagnosing and monitoring medical conditions.
