Let’s start with how to perform the ultrasound scan. Sonographers use transducers‚ and other equipment‚ to study the shape and form of organs‚ muscles and soft tissue in the body. The scans are usually performed on a specific area of the body to be studied. A topical solution is applied to a small area on the patient’s body first before the scan is conducted. Then the sonographer uses the transducer to perform the scan on the area where that solution was applied. The transducer is a hand

What are Ultrasound Scanners? Ultrasound has been utilized as a tool in beef and diary research systems for many years‚ and in more recent yeas has become available to commercial livestock agriculture. An ultrasound is an electronic instrument that sends out ultrasonic waves from an attached device called a transducer. Waves pass freely through fluid and are reflected back to the probe resulting in an image that can be identified as the placenta‚ fetus‚ or other organs. Ultrasound may also be used
