INTRODUCTION This paper will prove that Ultrasonography is influencing neurosurgeries by providing an alternate method of surgery that is beneficial to the patient‚ doctor‚ and families. This paper will answer questions like how can we make difficult surgeries easier on the surgeons and patients? The answer to that question is HIFU. HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. According to wikipedia‚ HIFU is “similar to using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight. Focused ultrasound uses an acoustic

The field of ultrasound imaging is growing rapidly‚ and‚ consequently‚ the demand for certified professionals. My genuine pursuit of a career as an ultrasound technologist only began recently‚ which is why I

Ultrasound imaging should be performed professionally and only when clinically pointed out to decrease fetal contact risk using the keeping acoustic output levels As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle. Ultrasonography consist of the use of sound waves and is not a form of ionizing radiation. There have been no news of recognized conflicting fetal effects for diagnostic ultrasonography measures‚ as well as duplex Doppler imaging. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration limits the spatial-peak

Ultrasound Ultrasound is an imaging technique that uses high frequency sound wave and echoes. There are different kinds of ultrasound they are two-dimensional image‚ 3D ultrasound imagining‚ and Doppler ultrasound. Doppler ultrasound is based on the Doppler effect. (Doppler effect is whenever relative motion exists between a source of sound and a listener and the frequency of the sound heard by the listener sounds different compared to the frequency when there is no motion.) The frequency of the

Head Ultrasound‚ Infant An ultrasound scan of the head uses harmless‚ painless sound waves to paint a picture of the brain. It is done by placing an ultrasound probe (transducer) over the soft spot on a baby’s head (fontanelle). Ultrasound is a safe‚ painless‚ noninvasive procedure. No X-rays are involved. A head ultrasound tests for bleeding inside the head (intracranial hemorrhage). This is a common problem for babies who are born prematurely. It is difficult to predict the presence or absence

ULTRASOUND An ultrasound is a medical imaging technique uses high frequency sound waves to look inside the body. During World War 2‚ there was a lot of research of radar and sonar which led to the invention and progress of the ultrasound device. It was invented by Ian Donald in 1957. It was first tested on a pregnant woman but later used for more purposes. The ultrasound was improved and also led to the development of other useful medical instruments such as the device CAVITRON‚ which destroys

Ultrasound is a sound pressure with a frequency greater than the limit of human hearing. This limit varies from person to person‚ it is around 20 kilohertz in young adults. 20 kHz is a useful lower limit in describing ultrasound. The making of ultrasound is used in many different fields ‚ a property also used by animals such as bats for hunting. The most well known application of ultrasound is its use in sonography to produce pictures of foetuses in the woman’s womb. Ultrasound is also used for
