ultrasound techniques

Ultrasound techniques use high-frequency sound waves that are emitted from a probe and bounce off tissues inside the body. These echoes are detected by the probe and converted into real-time images, allowing visualization of organs, blood flow, and developing a fetus. Since ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, it’s safe for most patients. It's commonly used for diagnostics, guiding procedures, and monitoring pregnancies. The quality of the images depends on tissue characteristics and the skill of the operator, making ultrasound a versatile, non-invasive, and effective imaging method.
