What is an Ultrasound Scan?
This three-dimensional ultrasound processing technology uses parallel computing to analyze a large number of sound reflections in real time, producing images very quickly, enabling surgeons to view a whole beating heart from any angle on the screen.

- American scientists have developed a three-dimensional ultrasound scanning technology that enables doctors to study patients' internal organs as if they had opened a window on the patient's body. "This technology has made current ultrasound technology obsolete," said Olaf Ram, co-inventor of the technology and director of the Center for Emerging Cardiovascular Engineering at Duke University in North Carolina.
- This multi-purpose machine can speed up the diagnosis, increase the accuracy of the diagnosis, and help doctors greatly increase their understanding of the human heart without surgery.
- With 3D technology, we can observe the entire beating heart very quickly, and can view any part we choose. We can look at the front, sides, and lateral sides of the heart, and everything happens while the heart is beating. "
- In order to capture "real-time" images of the beating heart and fetal movements and avoid delays, each signal must be processed simultaneously using massively parallel computer processing techniques. When images of internal tissues appear on the viewing screen, doctors can call up up to 16 slices simultaneously with a touch pad.
- The slices can have different perspectives, and they can be made thinner and thicker. To be able to view them at any time, the doctor can store all the images for later analysis.
