What is an ultrasonic display?
Ultrasonic imaging is a form of medical imaging that includes the use of high -frequency sound waves. In ultrasonography, because ultrasound imaging is also known, the sound waves are transmitted to the body from a small probe and the probe reads the sound waves as they bounce back and generate a picture of the inside of the body. This technology is similar to the technology used in the radar. The frequency level may vary depending on the level of detail and the depth of the required penetration. Modern ultrasonic machines are very sophisticated and capable of producing very complex and detailed images, including three -dimensional ultrasonic images that provide even better visualization of structures in the body.
This type of medical imaging is considered, which makes it quite safe, although the studies have indicated that high -frequency sound waves can sometimes cause cavitation in which small gas bubbles appear in the body tissues and that ultrasound display also warms tissue. Due to concerns about the impact of KavitacE and heating on the development of fruits Some organizations recommend minimal use of ultrasound during pregnancy by ultrasonography only to control the health of the fetus.
One of the huge advantages of ultrasound over its relative safety is its ability to reflect real -time activity in the body. Using ultrasound, the physician can see how the body structures move, a large improvement compared to static medical imaging, such as X -rays, which captures only a moment in time. Doppler ultrasound, a special type of ultrasound, can be used specifically to monitor movements such as blood movement to evaluate the health system.
When the patient enters the ultrasonic imaging session, he will be asked to remove clothes and jewelry in an area to be explored. A conductive gel will be applied to the area to improve the clarity of the image, and the converter will move around in the area. Technician maybe budE have to strengthen the converter or push quite hard to get a picture that can be unpleasant for a moment, but the procedure should not be painful. After ultrasound, the gel is removed and the patient may leave.
The results of ultrasonic imaging studies can be discussed immediately with the patient or the patient may later be discussed by the doctor. In addition to being used for diagnostic purposes, ultrasound is also used in some medical procedures, such as amniocentesis to guide the doctor while working.
