Ultrasound Physics

Ultrasound physics involves the use of sound waves at frequencies higher than human hearing to create images of the inside of the body. An ultrasound machine sends these sound waves into the body, where they bounce off organs and tissues. The machine then captures the echoes and processes them to generate real-time images. This safe, non-invasive technique is commonly used in medical diagnostics, such as monitoring pregnancies or assessing organs. Since sound waves don't harm the body, ultrasound is a preferred method for many imaging purposes.
