Solution

Ultrasound in medical industry

  • Doctors use ultrasound to view abnormalities in internal human organs such as liver, gall bladder, uterus, kidney, etc. They pass ultrasonic waves into the patient’s body. These waves move through the body and are reflected by a region where abnormalities such as stones, tumour, etc. are present. These reflected waves are received by a computer. The computer generates the picture of the given organ on the monitor.This technique is known as ultrasonography.

  • Echocardiography is a technique of studying the structure and motion of the heart using ultrasound. The information is used to detect a flaw in the patient’s heart.

  • Ultrasound is also used to monitor the different developmental stages of a foetus inside a womb.

  • Since the frequency of ultrasound is very high, it can break the stones present in gall bladders and kidneys. The small pieces of these stones are then eliminated from the body through urine.
