Ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize internal body structures in real-time
Uses high-frequency sound waves beyond human hearing range (2-18 MHz)
Creates images from echoes reflected by tissues and organs
No ionizing radiation, making it safer than X-rays or CT scans
Ultrasound technology is used across multiple medical specialties
Different ultrasound modalities for various diagnostic needs
Specialized ultrasound that evaluates blood flow through blood vessels by measuring the change in frequency of the ultrasound waves as they bounce off moving red blood cells
Visualizes blood flow direction and velocity using color coding
Graphical representation of blood flow velocities over time
Understanding the safety profile of diagnostic ultrasound
What to expect during an ultrasound examination
Depending on the area being examined, you may need to fast or have a full bladder
A water-based gel is applied to the skin to help transmit the sound waves
The transducer is moved over the area to capture images from different angles
Images are interpreted by a radiologist who sends results to your doctor
Emerging technologies that will transform ultrasound imaging
Artificial intelligence algorithms that enhance image quality, automate measurements, and assist with diagnosis in real-time.
Ultrasound probes that connect to smartphones and tablets, bringing medical imaging to remote areas and point-of-care.
Improved volumetric imaging with faster processing and higher resolution for better anatomical visualization.
