Meaning
Ultrasound imaging is a technique that uses ultrasound to form an image of the internal structure of an object.
About Ultrasound Imaging
- Ultrasound can be reflected, refracted or absorbed at the interface between different media. This can be used, along with a computer, to create images of the internal structure of an object. This is particularly useful for opaque object.
- Ultrasound is generally used to detect cracks in large metal structures using echolocation.
- Ultrasound is used in hospitals to create images of organs and of the foetus of pregnant female.
