ULTRASOUND
DEVELOPEMENT
 |
| Ultrasound
imaging uses the principles of sonar, developed for ships at
sea. As sound passes through the |
 |
| baby it produeces
echoes. Which can identify distance, size and shape of object
inside.
The echoes are analyzed by a computer in the ultrasound machine and transformed into moving pictures of organs or tissues being examined.

Ultrasound
waves are unable to penetrate bone or gas, so ultrasound is of limited
use for examining regions surrounded by bone, or areas that contain
gas on air. Even so, ultrasound has been used to examine most parts
of the body.
State of the art GE Volusion, ultrasound machine. This ultrasound does 2D, 3D, and 4D. Our ultrasound is hooked up to a 32" flat screen TV for easier viewing by mother and family.
