Useful application:Sonography is becoming
increasingly important.
In medicine, sonography (also known as medical ultrasonography) is a diagnostic techniqoe that uses sound waves to study and treat areas in the human body that are not easily accessible, such as muscles and internal organs. High-frequency sound waves are transmitted to specific areas and tha echoes from the transmission are recorded and then analysed.
Sonography forms an important part of the professional medical team at hospitals, medical and diagnostic centres. Nowadays, It is becoming increasingly important in medicine and is placed together with X-ray and nuclear medicine as important diagnostic tools.
Clinically used to check on feotal development, to study the age and sex of the foetus and to determine the presence of possible birth defects or other potential problems, today sonography is used in nearly every branch of medicine.
In many way, sonography is an ideal diagnostic tool. It is non-invasive, externally applied, non-traumatic and most importantly, all available data indicates that it is safe for use on the patients but also for the clinicians.
