Contrast-enhanced ultrasound

AWhy are the advancements made to obstetrics ultrasound imaging so important? Ultrasound imaging is a high valued technology that is used to see many of the body’s internal organs such as blood vessels, soft tissues, or a growing fetus inside the womb along with the placenta and uterus. This simple, pain free procedure is dependant on sound waves that are sent through the mother and bounce off the baby and back to the ultrasound machine. Ultrasounds have been around for some time now, however…

Introduction A prenatal ultrasound exam, also called a sonogram, is an imaging test that allows your health care provider to see your baby and placenta in the uterus. This is a safe and painless test that does not expose you or your baby to any X-rays, needles, or medicines. Prenatal ultrasounds may be used to check your baby's growth and development, evaluate possible problems, or check your baby's position before or during labor. Prenatal ultrasounds are done using a handheld plastic device…

an astounding 46 percent somewhere around 2012 and 2022, which is among the quickest rates on our rundown of best occupations in 2015." Diagnostic Sonography is a kind of restorative imaging that uses high-recurrence sound waves, otherwise called ultrasound, to create pictures of organs, tissues, and blood stream. They are a wide range of sorts of Sonography majors that can intrigue you. There is Abdominal Sonography, Breast Sonography, Musculoskeletal Sonography, Neuro-Sonography, Obstetric and…

Hmmm, I wonder if there is a way to create an ultrasound machine that could create 3D images. Kazunori Baba, M.D., Ph.D. thought to himself one day. For a time Kazunori Baba has been realizing the benefits of such a machine. He thinks to himself, the benefits of a 3D ultrasound would be monumental, my expecting mothers could not only see their babies in real time, but as a doctor I would also be able to better see the babies and find any possible birth defects before the delivery. But will there…

common, an ultrasound. Diagnostic medical sonography, more commonly referred to as ultrasound, is a growing area of the health care sector with excellent job prospects. Sonographers are skilled clinicians who perform ultrasound studies as ordered by physicians for their patients. The images created by sonographers are then used to determine a medical diagnosis. (Broward College) Ultrasound involves many theories, techniques, and occupations. The number of opportunities involved with ultrasounds…

Changed Fetal Ultrasound Introduction Technology has changed fetal ultrasound by allowing abnormalities to be found earlier and cured more precisely, being able to accurately judge anything from gender to age, and creating a better picture for the parents. “Fetal ultrasound is the safest way to check for problems and get information on the fetus” (The Future of Ultrasound: Color Photos and 4D Imagery, 2014, p.1). It is different than x-rays because it doesn’t use radiation, “Ultrasound comes…

bachelor’s degree in Sonography. A Diagnostic Medical Sonographer is a caregiver who assists in capturing a well detailed picture of the interior of the body with a transducer probe and ultrasound gel to create a picture with the help of sound waves. Furthermore, a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer performs ultrasounds throughout the body. With that said, I want to assist patients with a high-quality image and an accurate diagnosis. I enjoy helping others that is why I choose a career in healthcare…

That is when I started to have ideas of being a Sonographer, but I still wasn’t sure. My sister found out she was pregnant in 2015 and showed me her ultrasound. As the months went by she kept showing me the different pictures how her baby grew each month, and I never knew how to read the picture, so I gained curiosity in learning about Ultrasound. When my sister was 7 months…

8. Overview of the Arduino Sketch 8.1 General Codes MediaTek labs states that an Arduino sketch “is a source code file representing the core controlling logic for the LinkIt ONE development board. It consists of two main structures: setup and loop” (MediaTek Labs, n.d.). In this section I will discuss what the above code do. First, LinkIt ONE initializes the Ubidots account, then the sensors, Wi-Fi or GPRS, the location and finally the serial port. To minimize battery consumption, I did not use…

Depending on where you go and what kind of ultrasound you may need will determine the cost of the procedure. Per “Mayo clinic.org” there are no known risks with ultrasounds and they are radiation free. In fact, “Diagnostic ultrasound has had an impressive safety record since 1950s. No substantiated cases of harm from imaging have been found. (O’Brien, 1998). With the cost being the cheapest and the risk being the lowest, a lot of medical examiners turn to ultrasound over other test like…
