Ultrasound Technicians, also known as diagnostic medical sonographers, use equipment that makes sound waves to produce or record a picture of the internal organs. Sonography is an important medical field because it allows technicians and physicians to see and diagnose a patient’s condition in a minimally intrusive way. What once may have required exploratory surgery now is a quick outpatient procedure with minimal patient discomfort.
Ultrasound works by using a high rate of sound waves and echoes: it’s like echolocation which some animals use to find objects by sound. An Ultrasound machine uses high rythm sound waves that pulses into the body by using a transducer probe (the main part of the machine). The transducer probe receives the …show more content…
Craig C. Freudenrich, Ph.D article states,“The commands from the operator are translated into changing electric currents that are applied to the piezoelectric crystals in the transducer probe.”2 The quick shape change, or plustation in the crystals, creates sound waves that itinerant outward, once the sound or tension hits those crystals they began to produce an electrical current. After that the machine then figures out the distance from the probe to the body tissue …show more content…
In Craig C. Freudenrich, Ph.D sates, “ development of heat tissue or water absorb the ultrasound energy which increase their temperature and formation of bubbles (cavitation) when dissolved gases come out of the solution due to local heat caused by ultrasound.”5 Nevertheless, there are no side effects of ultrasound recorded in studies with anyone. However Ultrasound should only be used when needed. As technology evolves Ultrasound might advance even more.
Future Ultrasound might be even more fast and will be able to hold more data. Transducer probes might become smaller, and be grow better picture of internal organs. 3D Ultrasound will probably become even more popular and in Craig C. Freudenrich, Ph.D says, “Ultrasound imaging combined with heads-up/virtual reality-types display will allow a doctor to ‘see' inside you as he/she is performing a minimally invasive or non-invasive procedure such as amniocentesis or a biopsy.”6
Without ultrasound people wouldn't be able to see what's really going on the our tissue, muscles, bones, and organs. You wouldn't be able to see you your child looks and if your pregnancy is going well. This is why having an ultrasound done is very
