Medical ultrasonics
Medical ultrasonics uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. A device called a transducer sends sound waves into the tissues, which bounce back to form echoes. These echoes are processed by a computer to generate real-time images, primarily used to examine organs, blood flow, and pregnancies. Ultrasonics is non-invasive, safe, and does not use radiation, making it a valuable diagnostic tool for detecting and monitoring various medical conditions.
