BS Medical Ultrasound Technology

Medical ultrasound technology also known as ultrasonography or sonography is an important imaging tool and commonly used in medical imaging. Ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to create organs, tissues and other structures in your body. This allows your healthcare provider to see your anatomy without surgery. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images or videos of internal organs or other delicate tissues, such as blood vessels. Compared with other competing medical imaging modalities such as X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radionuclide emission tomography, ultrasound has the advantages of radiation a it provides zero ionizing, low cost, ubiquity, and real-time imaging. Ultrasound has a wide range of clinical applications including monitoring, evaluation, diagnosis and guidance of interventions. A comprehensive diagnostic protocol based on ultrasound imaging has been established for many organs. Diagnostic medical sonographers work closely with the doctors to produce dynamic visual images of organs, tissues and blood flow inside the body.
