Tim Watson. (2008). Ultrasound in contemporary physiotherapy practice. Ultrasonics ‚ 48‚ 321-329. Abstract Therapeutic Ultrasound is a well established and commonly used practice in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitative sciences. Primarily ultrasound is used in the treatment and repair of soft tissue lesion management used as thermal modality. However in recent practice the non-thermal aspects of Ultrasound as intervention are being employed. Evidence indicates the dose dependant

diagnostic ultrasound have a role in emergency medicine? Introduction Emergency medicine (EM) is the medical specialty involving care for undifferentiated and unscheduled patients with illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention. The specialty is not limited to the emergency department and may be practiced in numerous other settings including urgent care clinics‚ ambulances‚ at disaster sites‚ and even through telecommunications technology‚ known as telemedicine. Diagnostic ultrasound is

that on its own prenatal ultrasound exposure is not a cause of autism. Although previously performed studies reported a link between autism and ultrasound exposure the results have not been replicated. More recently performed studies have found that those exposed to ultrasound prenatally have the same risk of developing autism as those unexposed. Based on the results of such research studies as Grether et al. and Stalberg et al. it is recommended that prenatal ultrasound use be continued for medical

Although the use of contrast is not heavily spread in ultrasound‚ through studies it has been noted that contrast use in sonography has proven to be helpful in diagnostic imaging. CEUS which is short for contrast enhanced ultrasonography in some cases has been able to distinguish a variety of issues‚ from determining a benign or malignant lesion‚ to determining muscle injuries. According to Sconfienza‚ malignant tumors are presented with several sonographic appearances including the following “rich

History‚ Use and Safety of Ultrasound Introduction Ultrasound is the generation of energy using sound wave of about 20‚000 or more vibrations per second. The ultrasound is mostly used in imaging tools and particularly in medical diagnosis. The ultrasound uses sound waves that are above the frequency of the human ear. A transducer is used to give off the sound waves that are reflected back from the tissues‚ and organs giving a picture of what are inside the body. This is later drawn on

Wave: The generator of ultrasonic wave is nothing but an oscillator‚ which can generate these high frequency waves. The ultrasonic waves can be produced by the following methods. a) Magnetostriction Generator b) Piezoelectric or Ultrasound Generator a) Magnetostriction Effect This effect is very useful in generating ultrasonic waves are known as Magnetostriction effect. This effect was first discovered by Joule in 1847 & subsequently used by G.W Pierre in an oscillator

What are Ultrasound Scanners? Ultrasound has been utilized as a tool in beef and diary research systems for many years‚ and in more recent yeas has become available to commercial livestock agriculture. An ultrasound is an electronic instrument that sends out ultrasonic waves from an attached device called a transducer. Waves pass freely through fluid and are reflected back to the probe resulting in an image that can be identified as the placenta‚ fetus‚ or other organs. Ultrasound may also be used

After weeks and weeks of research I finally found something that I found interesting‚ and worth doing for a living. My goal is to become an ultrasound technician. An ultrasound technician conducts sonograms to help physicians diagnose and screen medical conditions. Now‚ when most people say they want to be an ultrasound technician they automatically think they’re going to be giving

CHAPTER 1 Graphs are used to study the relationship between 2 things so you can see what the relationship is. Unrelated: 2 items that are not associated. Ex. Hair color is unrelated to shoe size Directly related/proportional: 2 items that are associated such that when one item increases‚ the other increases. The graph of 2 directly related items extends from lower left to upper right. Ex. Clothing size is directly related to one’s weight. Related/ proportional: Is a relationship but can’t
