Ultrasound: Sound Waves in Modern Healthcare

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves beyond human hearing.
Sound waves bounce off tissues, creating echoes that form images.
It’s commonly used to monitor pregnancies and visualize fetal growth.
Ultrasound helps doctors examine organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Doppler ultrasound measures blood flow and detects circulatory issues.
Unlike X-rays, ultrasound involves no radiation, making it very safe.
Portable ultrasound machines bring diagnostics to remote locations.
Real-time imaging allows doctors to guide procedures with precision.
Advances in 3D and 4D ultrasound provide detailed, moving images.
It turns sound physics into a powerful, non-invasive medical tool.
