Ultrasound
is the use of sound waves to image an unborn
fetus as well as the liver, kidney, breast
and other soft tissues. A specialized transducer
allows for exams involving blood flow. The
transducer converts electrical impulses
into bursts of high frequency sound waves.
These sound waves are directed into the
body over organs or structures of interest.
When ultrasound waves strike these structures
they are reflected back to the transducer
just as your voice echoes back when you
shout into a cavern.
The
reflected sound waves are converted by the
transducer back into electrical impulses
that are analyzed by a computer. The computer
uses this information to construct an image
or picture of the organs.
