Medical Imaging - Obstetrics

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound is used to monitor the development of a fetus during pregnancy, providing images by bouncing high-frequency sound waves off of tissues.

StarStarStarStar

Sonography

StarStarStarStar

Sonography utilizes ultrasound waves to produce real-time images for the diagnosis and examination of internal body structures, also known as ultrasonography.

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound Drug Delivery

StarStarStarStar

High-frequency ultrasound can increase cell membrane permeability, aiding in the targeted delivery of drugs to specific tissues within the body.

StarStarStarStar

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Therapy

StarStarStarStar

HIFU targets and destroys deep tissue with heat during treatment, used for procedures like non-invasive tumor ablation.

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasonic Scalpel

StarStarStarStar

An ultrasonic scalpel uses high-frequency vibrations to cut and cauterize tissue simultaneously, reducing blood loss and improving surgical outcomes.

StarStarStarStar

Therapeutic Ultrasound - Physiotherapy

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound is used in physiotherapy to promote tissue healing and reduce pain through its warming and micro-massage effects on the body's tissues.

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound Cleaning - Jewelry

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound cleaners create cavitation bubbles in a cleaning solution that collapse and generate high forces, which remove contaminants from intricate jewelry surfaces.

StarStarStarStar

Industrial Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound NDT methods use sound waves to detect internal flaws in materials without damaging them, often used in pipeline and structural inspections.

StarStarStarStar

Fetal Doppler

StarStarStarStar

A fetal Doppler uses ultrasound to detect the heartbeat of a fetus, which is a useful tool for monitoring its well-being in the womb.

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction

StarStarStarStar

In this cosmetic procedure, ultrasonic vibrations liquefy fat cells before removal, making the liposuction process less invasive and more effective.

StarStarStarStar

Intravascular Ultrasound

StarStarStarStar

This technique involves threading an ultrasound probe into blood vessels to visualize and assess the interior of arteries and veins.

StarStarStarStar

Lithotripsy

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound lithotripsy is a procedure where focused ultrasonic waves are used to break up kidney stones into small particles that can be more easily passed by the body.

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound Cleaning - Dental Instruments

StarStarStarStar

Dental tools are cleaned using ultrasonic baths to ensure thorough sterilization, where the sound waves dislodge microorganisms and debris.

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasound in Veterinary Medicine

StarStarStarStar

Similar to human applications, ultrasound provides veterinarians with a non-invasive way to examine the internal organs of animals for diagnostic purposes.

StarStarStarStar

Medical Imaging - Cardiology

StarStarStarStar

Echocardiograms use ultrasound to create images of the heart to assess its structure and function, analyzing movement and blood flow.
