Ultrasound These jiggle about at ultrasonic frequencies, sending their vibrations to a thin, quartz glass plate (3), which transmits waves (4) into a basin filled with fluid (5) into which you place the objects to be cleaned. Ultrasound waves can be produced using magnetism instead of electricity. Just as piezoelectric crystals produce ultrasound waves in response to electricity, so there are other crystals that make ultrasound in response to magnetism.

- Ultrasound uses sound waves to check blood flow in your veins. For this test, gel is put on the skin of your legs. A hand-held device called a transducer is moved back and forth over the affected areas. The transducer gives off ultrasound waves and detects their echoes as they bounce off the vein walls and blood cells.

Pelvic Ultrasound Sometimes, a small sample of tissue may be taken with small tools inserted through the vagina during a transvaginal ultrasound. In all three types of pelvic ultrasound, the transducer sends the reflected sound waves to a computer, which makes them into a picture that is shown on a video screen.

Ultrasound - Abdomen Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves the use of a small transducer (probe) and ultrasound gel placed directly on the skin. High-frequency sound waves are transmitted from the probe through the gel into the body.

Ultrasound Scan The echoes are detected by the probe and are sent down the wire to the ultrasound machine. They are displayed as a picture on the monitor. The picture is constantly updated so the scan can show movement as well as structure. For example, the valves of a heart opening and closing during a scan of the heart.

What do hyperechoic and hypoechoic mean? The language of ultrasound is made up of descriptive words to try to form a picture in the reader’s mind. Ultrasound waves are formed in the transducer (the instrument the radiologist applies to the body), and reflect from tissue interfaces that they pass through back to the same transducer.

Doppler ultrasound pulse wave Doppler ultrasound a technique in which the transducer emits ultrasound in pulses. Blood flow velocities so measured are limited to around the physiologic range (up to approximately 1.5 meters/second) but the depth from which the returning echoes originate can be accurately determined.

Ultrasound The machine sends out high-frequency sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives the waves and uses them to create a picture. Unlike with an x-ray or CT scan, this test does not use ionizing radiation. The test is done in the ultrasound or radiology department.

What is ultrasound? Ultrasound uses sound waves to create an image (picture). The sound waves can not be heard and the power of the sound waves used is very low. In pregnancy an ultrasound scan can be used to look at the developing baby.

Physics of ultrasound as it relates to echocardiography Major drawback of ultrasound is the fact that it cannot be transmitted through a gaseous medium (like air or lung tissue), in clinical echo certain windows are used to image the heart and avoid the lungs. As ultrasound transverses tissue, its energy decreases.

Ultrasound Back to Top How the Test Is Performed. An ultrasound machine creates images that allow various organs in the body to be examined. The machine sends out high-frequency sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives these reflected waves and uses them to create a picture.

- Ultrasound waves travel faster through a stiff medium, such as bone. In echocardiography, the velocity of sound is assumed to be approximately 1,540 m/sec (or 1.54 m/msec). Sound waves travel through the air with speed of 330 m/s.

- Resolution of the images improves with frequency, but the wavelength is shortened in the process, which decreases the distance from the ultrasound transducer that can be imaged. As a result, adults are usually imaged using a 2-4 MHz transducer, while pediatric patients are imaged using a 7-12 MHz transducer.

Ultrasound Ultrasounds are sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing. Ultrasound is no different from 'normal' (audible) sound in its physical properties, except in that humans cannot hear it. This limit varies from person to person and is approximately 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz) in healthy, young adults. Ultrasound devices operate with frequencies from 20 kHz up to several gigahertz. Ultrasound is used in many different fields. Ultrasonic devices are used to detect objects and measure distances. Ultrasound imaging or sonography is often used in medicine. In the nondestructive testing of products and structures, ultrasound is used to detect invisible flaws.

2 â Electromagnetic acoustic transducers This chapter discusses electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs), which produce ultrasonic waves without any coupling medium, in the surface of an electrically conductive material. In Section 2.1 the difference between piezoelectric and electromagnetic generation and reception of ultrasonic waves is described. Section 2.2 presents the mechanisms acting mainly during ultrasound excitation by EMATs, the Lorentz force and magnetostriction.

Chronic Pancreatitis Testing and Diagnosis Ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off the pancreas, gallbladder, liver, and other organs, and their echoes generate electrical impulses that create an image—called a sonogram—on a video monitor. If gallstones are causing inflammation, the sound waves will also bounce off of them, showing their location.

High-Resolution Fetal Ultrasonography High-Resolution Fetal Ultrasonography. High-resolution fetal ultrasonography (also called Level II ultrasound) uses sound waves produced by an ultrasound machine to create an image of the fetus called a sonogram. The genetic ultrasound evaluates the physical growth and development of the fetus.

- NOTE: This is the pulse rate (pulses per second) and not the frequency which is the number of cycles or vibrations per second within each pulse. The principal control associated with the pulse generator is the size of the electrical pulses that can be used to change the intensity and energy of the ultrasound beam.

Ultrasound Ultrasound is a type of imaging. It uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs and structures inside the body. Health care professionals use it to view the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver, and other organs. During pregnancy, doctors use ultrasound to view the fetus. Unlike x-rays, ultrasound does not expose you to radiation. During an ultrasound test, you lie on a table. A special technician or doctor moves a device called a transducer over part of your body. The transducer sends out sound waves, which bounce off the tissues inside your body.

- A breast ultrasound is a tool used to image the breast that uses high frequency sound waves. A computer picks up the sound wave echoes and produces an image on the computer screen. Ultrasound does not use radiation.

- Scalar waves are produced when two electromagnetic waves of the same frequency are exactly out of phase (opposite to each other) and the amplitudes subtract and cancel or destroy each other. The result is not exactly an annihilation of magnetic fields but a transformation of energy back into a scalar wave. Also, even a passive mobius alone will have a + side and a minus side. 2  You want to make sure the + side faces toward the business end of the crystal. 3  Anyway, this magnet thing feels pretty impressive, if strong magnets are used. 4  I just did this with a stack of neodymium magnets.
