Ultrasound Testing

Ultrasound testing uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body or objects. A device called a transducer sends sound pulses into the area being examined; these waves bounce off structures and return to the device, which then translates them into real-time images on a monitor. This technique is non-invasive, safe, and widely used for medical diagnosis, such as monitoring pregnancies or examining organs, as well as for inspecting materials and equipment for flaws without causing damage.
