Ultrasound is a method of diagnostic imaging that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within the body. This method involves the application of a thin layer of gel on the skin, which helps the transducer in transmitting ultrasound waves across the body. This device is placed directly on the skin, vagina or rectum to generate images through wave reflection. In this imaging method, sound travels through fluids and soft tissue which echoes back from denser surfaces for creating an image. Some common techniques used for ultrasound imaging are bone sonometry, abdominal ultrasound, breast ultrasound, echocardiogram, ophthalmic ultrasound, etc. Ultrasound guided biopsies are performed to collect a sample of tissue. Furthermore, it can also be used in the field of anesthesiology for guiding needle placement. This book discusses the clinical approach to ultrasound. It provides comprehensive insights into this area of diagnostic imaging. The book will serve as an invaluable resource for students and professionals. -- Provided by Amazon listing.
