What Are The Advantages Of Ultrasound

An ultrasound scan, also known as sonography, is a process to create an image with the help of high frequency sound waves. An ultrasound imaging is used to diagnose certain abnormalities and monitor the unborn baby. There are many advantages to Ultrasound technology. Have a look at some of them. UltraSound offers soft-tissue visualization Ultrasound provides the excellent visualization of soft tissues like muscles and organs. When the sound waves encounter the tissues of different densities, an echo reflects which is measured by the ultrasound techniques. The timing, intensity, and other characteristics of Echo are based on the features of the soft tissues. Since tumors have a different density from the soft tissues, they can clearly be detected by ultrasound techniques. Other imaging methods like X-rays are less effective and less reliable in examining soft tissues. Ultrasound is a non-invasive approach Ultrasound technology is a non-invasive approach as it applies the probes to the area where visualization is to be done. Like the neck of a person to diagnose the thyroid gland and the belly of a woman. In other cases of the radiology process, it requires placing the probe inside the
