==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[File:UltrasoundImage.png|right|300px|thumb|This picture shows an '''ultrasound image''' of a [[foetus]] inside a [[uterus]].]]
'''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 [[reflect]]ed, [[refracted]] or [[Absorb (Physics)|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 [[hospital]]s to create images of [[organ]]s and of the [[foetus]] of [[pregnant]] [[women]].
