ULTRASOUND TECHNICIAN ULTRASONOGRAPHY TECHNICIAN AS A PROFESSION Ultrasonography is primarily a medical imaging technique used to diagnose pathological lesions‚ organ swellings or foetuses (in case of prenatal care). This imaging technique is performed by an Ultrasound technician‚ who is an ultrasonography specialist. The specialist would direct ultrasonic waves into the patient’s body to diagnose the medical condition of internal organs or foetus’ development. Ultrasound is a non invasive procedure

women have the privilege to settle on their predetermination with respect to pregnancy. It was anticipated that roughly around 14 million abortions has happened each year. 4D ultrasound scans performed on all elective abortion patients has made numerous controversies in the United States in the late years. The 4D ultrasound is used in taking the embryo’s

Ultrasound imaging should be performed professionally and only when clinically pointed out to decrease fetal contact risk using the keeping acoustic output levels As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle. Ultrasonography consist of the use of sound waves and is not a form of ionizing radiation. There have been no news of recognized conflicting fetal effects for diagnostic ultrasonography measures‚ as well as duplex Doppler imaging. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration limits the spatial-peak

Ultrasound Ultrasound is an imaging technique that uses high frequency sound wave and echoes. There are different kinds of ultrasound they are two-dimensional image‚ 3D ultrasound imagining‚ and Doppler ultrasound. Doppler ultrasound is based on the Doppler effect. (Doppler effect is whenever relative motion exists between a source of sound and a listener and the frequency of the sound heard by the listener sounds different compared to the frequency when there is no motion.) The frequency of the

One being that metal bats have a larger “sweet spot” than wood bats. The “sweet spot” of a baseball bat is a place on the bat where the ball leaves the bat with the greatest speed and the player’s hands feel very little vibration from the impact. This is because a metal bat’s barrel can hold a uniform shape longer than a wood bat. This larger “sweet spot” provides a better chance for the ball to not only be hit but hit harder. Along with a larger “sweet spot” metal bats also feel lighter to

Assume subcutaneous tissue has a density of 1060kg/m3 (Hedrick 2003)‚ muscle has a density of 1104kg/m3 (Madjor 2008) and bone has a density of 5065kg/m3 (Hedrick 2003). Give your answer in Mrayls. Please use speed of sound as 1540m/s for tissue‚ muscle and bone In ultrasound‚ Acoustic impedance (Z) is the quantity of measurement of resistance to sound when passing through a medium

am interested in being an ultrasound technician. I have interviewed a registered nurse and an ultrasound technician. I have also read reviews online posted by registered nurses and doctors. After reading and reviewing these interviews I have come to the conclusion that I have made a good choice. While interviewing Dr. Nowak‚ an ultrasound technician‚ I gathered a lot of information useful in choosing a career. Dr. Nowak explained to me many aspects of being an ultrasound technician.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Introduction: Ultrasound is a non-ionizing‚ medical imaging modality that uses high-frequency sound waves and their echoes to produce images of organs and their movement in real time. A major limitation of ultrasound imaging is the often poor definition of the produced image. This poor image definition is attributed to ultrasound frequency in which there is a trade-off between spatial resolution and attenuation. This trade-off has been remedied by the introduction of
