X-rays and Ultrasound: X-rays and ultrasound are two different modalities used for different things‚ so an ultrasound can do some things an X ray cannot‚ and vice versa‚ and so this makes them very difficult to directly compare. Ultrasound: Above: An ultrasound machine. Ultrasound is the use of energy generated by sound waves of 20‚000 or more vibrations per second. Ultrasounds are generated by a device called a transducer. Bearing in mind that sound is a mechanical energy‚ the transducer

LEVEL-TWO ULTRASOUND SCAN Ultrasound examination during should include a systematic evaluation of fetal anatomy. Apart from anencephaly‚ the fetal organs cannot be accurately measured before 17-18 weeks of gestation. After 30-35 weeks‚ evaluation becomes increasingly difficult. Hence level-two ultrasound scan is done at 18 to 20 weeks of gestation. CLASSIFICATION OF FETAL SONOGRAPHIC EXAMINATIONS 1. First-Trimester Ultrasound 2. Standard Second- or Third-Trimester Ultrasound

An ultrasound technician needs to know how to work the equipment and read what is on the screen. The equipment can be difficult to use‚ you have to angle the transducer probe just right to get the best image. It is also difficult to angle the transducer probe correctly since you are dealing with the human body and each person is different‚. It is your job to find the organs you need to find in the ultrasound. That is why I wish to obtain this Scholarship. I want to be able to receive education courses

What They Do Diagnostic Medical Sonography is the scientific name for Ultrasound Technician. Ultrasound is harmless. All it is sound waves. When a tech. Ultrasounds a patient they have to use ultrasound gel because between the skin and the probe (what is used to scan) is air‚ the gel makes a bond between the skin and the probe so that the sound wave can get through to the object the ultrasound d is scanning for. When the sound wave hits the object it bounces off‚ goes back to the probe and on the
