I am here to explain an ultrasound, so that way you are not nervous. First, there are different types of sound waves, and how they travel. There are transverse, longitudinal, and surface waves. The transverse waves are a mechanical wave which means that the wave travels like an S- wave sideways. Longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction the wave travels. When the longitudinal wave travels it compresses through the particles in the medium that it passes through. Longitudinal waves are like contractions because they can compress together really high, and or low which could make the pain hurt more, or hurt very little. Surface waves move in circular motions around the medium. In an ultrasound you can see your baby move around in your
The Diagnostic Sonography more commonly known as Ultrasound is a medical procedure in which you use high frequency sound waves to produce visual images of organs tissues or blood flow inside the body. Ultrasound is regularly known as the procedure used to examine women who are expecting. Although, Sonography is used in many different ways other than for expectant mothers. Sonography is also used to detect such things as heart disease, heart attacks, and vascular disease that can lead to stroke. (SDMS, 2010) Moreover, Sonography is also used to examine breasts, abdomens, female reproductive systems,
It first started as a tub full of water, and now Ultrasounds are machines smaller in size, easily portable, and even used in ambulances. The most widely known use of Ultrasounds is for pregnant women, as a way of monitoring the fetus. These machines are also used for imaging the inside of a person's’ body, and acts as a guide while doctors perform surgery. Doctors are now able to assist a patient better, make a diagnosis quicker and know if further medical attention is required. Time was once deadly in the medical field, once upon a time doctors were not able to know for sure if a patient had problems internally, and once the problem became known, it was sometimes too late to save a life. Over time, this piece of technology has changed for
Another form of imaging is ultrasound. Ultrasound, which uses very high frequency sound, is directed into the body. And because the tissue interference's reflect sound, doctors are able to produce, by use of a computer, a photograph or moving image on a television. Ultrasound has many application uses on the body, but is more commonly used in examinations of the fetus during pregnancy, because use of radiation may affect the outcome of the baby. Some other practices for ultrasound include examination of the arteries, heart, pancreas, urinary system, ovaries, brain, and spinal cord. And because sound travels well through fluids it is a very useful technique for diagnosing cysts( which are filled with fluid), and fluid filled structures such as the bladder. And since sound is absorbed by air and bone it is impossible to use a ultrasound on bones or lungs.
Diagnostic medical sonography is a profession where sonographers direct high-frequency sound waves into a patient’s body through the use of specific equipment to diagnose or monitor a patient’s medical condition. As described by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this examination is referred to as an ultrasound, sonogram, or echocardiogram. The high-frequency sound waves emitted from the handheld device, called a transducer, bounce back creating an echo and therefore produce an image that can be viewed on the sonographers computer screen. This image provides the sonographer and physician with an internal image of the patient’s body that will be used in the diagnosis. The most familiar use of ultrasound is used in monitoring pregnancies
2D Ultrasound Images: Also known as sonography, ultrasounds work by using sound waves to develop an image of what's inside the body—in this case, a baby! When you think of a stereotypical pregnancy ultrasound, this is probably what comes to mind. The 2D ultrasound technique has been used for years and provides a two-dimensional,

Diagnostic medical sonographers play a key role in the health care team and often work alongside doctors, nurses, and other technologists. They prepare patients by explaining the procedure and collect necessary patient history information prior to examination. An ultrasound is then performed, which is a non-invasive process that enables sonographers to send high-frequency sound waves into the body. The return signals are then analyzed to help visualize internal organs in 2D, 3D or 4D. These images help physicians with medical diagnoses and are also used for monitoring pregnancy. An ultrasound is often executed on many different areas of the body including the abdomen, pelvis, tissues, and vascular and cardiac systems. A DMS may also be required
Parents also are able to receive a great amount of joy when they are able to see their baby on an ultrasound. With this technology, parents are able to see their baby before they even make their grand entrance into the world.
APOLLO MISSIONS. This was very interesting! So I hope it's ok that I did it on this. The discovery had to do with the dust of the lunar surface and the effects that it had on the space suits. They had many issues like clogging, loss of traction, and it cause issues with the seals in the suit.
Ultrasounds are performed when medically necessary. According to the article, Prenatal Diagnosis of Microcephaly, ultrasound during pregnancy, “has not been associated with adverse maternal, fetal, or neonatal outcomes”. It continues to say that, “ultrasound is safe for the fetus when used appropriately”. This is a safe tool that gives the doctors a better idea of what is wrong with a patient without performing unnecessary surgery. Ultrasounds have been a key instrument in aiding the diagnosis of medical conditions for many years and continues to become more efficient and accurate in time. Although ultrasounds can be used for many reasons all throughout the body, the main
2009 Mami Zoe Taylor and her brother Zack Taylor are in Miami and they are just having lunch. Zoe is a nice and kind girl. She has brown curly hair sometime in braids and she is 16. Zack is one of the nicest brother, I met. He loves to play video games a lot , he is only 11. When they finished lunch, they heard a noise like someone was banging on a wall or something like that. Store when they got up and payed the bill and went to the boom store. The boom store is a smooth jazz place with a rock and roll section, it has many musical instruments that Zoe and Zack like. Zoe loves to play the violin so she tries the violin and she likes it. So they went back home and ask her mom and dad if she and get the violin and they said “yes you can Zoe.” Her mom said and when she Said yes they heard that rumbling noise again. But it was the food in the oven.
Whether or not you realize it, there is energy all around us. This energy changes and influences the way the world works. When someone tells you to think of energy, the first thing that likely comes to mind is electricity or heat, as that is what we commonly see and hear about. If you are asked to think of a powerful kind of energy, you may think of radiation or fire, as they can kill people and destroy forests. Although these may be the most obvious kinds of energy, there is another kind of energy that can be both more helpful and more dangerous; shock waves. These waves surround us, yet we have only just began to explore their many uses. Shock waves can be used by animals and humans for both utility and offense.
The ultrasound works that you place a transducer on the gelcovered skin, and soundwaves are emitted into the body. This soundwaves travel until they reach different types of tissues which reflect the sound back, for example, when the soundwave passes from fluid to bone, some of the soundwaves reflects ans bounce off the bone back to the tranducer. Each time the soundwaves pass through a different medium within the body, whether it be oran tissue, donr och other tussues in the body this process continues.
For our project we researched ultrasound which is also commonly known as a Sonogram. The definition of ultrasound is energy that is generated by sound waves of 20,000 or greater vibrations per second. Ultrasound is used in many different arrays. It is most often used in the medical field. Ultrasound uses sound waves that are too high to be heard by the human ear. A part of the ultrasound machine called the transducer is placed on the body part and sound waves are emitted from the transducer and reflected back from organs and tissues. When the wave is sent back to the transducer it puts it into the computer which then measures the length of time it took for the wave to leave and come back and this is what makes up the
Ultrasound or ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves. It is a high pitch frequency that cannot be heard by the human ear. In ultra sound the following happens: High frequency sound pulses (1-5megahertz) are transmitted from the ultrasound machine into your body using a probe. The sound wave will travel into your body until it hits an object such as soft tissue and bone. When the sound wave hits these objects some of the wave will be reflected back to the probe. While some waves may carry on further till they hit another object and then reflected back. The probe picks up these reflected sound waves and relays them to the machine. The distance and time from the probe,
