Ultrasound


Ultrasound is a non-invasive medical imaging technique used to visualize muscles, tendons, pathological lesions and many internal organs and other structures. It plays an important role during prenatal care and is commonly used as a diagnostic tool. Ultrasound sends ultrasonic waves through the patient and detects the echoes of the bounced back waves, applies digital processing to these signals, and builds an image to be shown on a screen.
