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

The field of ultrasound imaging is growing rapidly‚ and‚ consequently‚ the demand for certified professionals. My genuine pursuit of a career as an ultrasound technologist only began recently‚ which is why I

to be an ultrasound technician. My step-mom and Aunt-in-law both have accomplished roles in the medical field. They are definitely two role models I want to follow. I won’t let this goal fall through the cracks. However‚ to become an ultrasound technician there are certain steps I have to take. To get started‚ an ultrasound technician (which is also called a diagnostic medical sonographer) uses high-frequency sound waves that create images of soft tissue in a patient’s body. The ultrasound waves create

X-rays and Ultrasound: X-rays and ultrasound are two different modalities used for different things‚ so an ultrasound can do some things an X ray cannot‚ and vice versa‚ and so this makes them very difficult to directly compare. Ultrasound: Above: An ultrasound machine. Ultrasound is the use of energy generated by sound waves of 20‚000 or more vibrations per second. Ultrasounds are generated by a device called a transducer. Bearing in mind that sound is a mechanical energy‚ the transducer

Application of Ultrasound In Medical And Industrial field The term ultrasound defines sound waves of frequencies above the threshold of human hearing‚ 20 kHz. Ultrasound may be propagated in a variety of modes through different materials and offers a wide range of both medical and industrial applications. In the medical field‚ the development of a foetus is routinely monitored by ultrasound; cardiac irregularities‚ along with kidney stones and osteoporosis may all be identified. Ultrasound also offers

PHYSICS Why did humans can’t hear the ultrasound unlike the dogs? Ultrasound is a cyclic sound pressure wave with a frequency greater than the upper limit of the human hearing range. Ultrasound is thus not separated from "normal" (audible) sound based on differences in physical properties‚ only the fact that humans cannot hear it. Although this limit varies from person to person‚ it is approximately 20 kilohertz (20‚000 hertz) in healthy‚ young adults. Ultrasound devices operate with frequencies from
