Ultrasound Quick Project Ultrasounds are sound waves with frequency beyond the human limits‚ therefore humans are unable to hear them. It even travels at exactly the same speed as sound in any medium. Humans can hear sound within the frequency range of about 20 to 20‚000 Hz‚ so any sound above 20 kHz is ultrasound. Ultrasound or ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves and their echoes. The technique is similar to the echolocation used by bats‚ whales

X rays and Ultrasound are two of the main imaging techniques used in radiography. For the purposes of this essay‚ we will look at conventional x-rays and diagnostic ultrasound. Conventional x rays are non-invasive diagnostic techniques that are used to capture images of the body’s organs and bones. Diagnostic ultrasounds are high frequency sound waves to create an image of soft issues in the body such as muscles‚ joints‚ and internal organs. As examined below‚ while both are used in diagnostic radiography

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
