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

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Introduction: Ultrasound is a non-ionizing‚ medical imaging modality that uses high-frequency sound waves and their echoes to produce images of organs and their movement in real time. A major limitation of ultrasound imaging is the often poor definition of the produced image. This poor image definition is attributed to ultrasound frequency in which there is a trade-off between spatial resolution and attenuation. This trade-off has been remedied by the introduction of
