The Scope of Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound

  • Chapter
Basic Physics and Technology of Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound

  • 75 Accesses

Abstract

Ultrasound now ranks as a major diagnostic tool in medicine. Its applications are constantly expanding to new areas of the body with novel examination procedures being described in the literature. The types and sophistication of diagnostic ultrasound equipment are constantly being increased and improved. Ultrasound literature is expanding each year. Within this developing context, many firmly established ultrasound examination procedures now exist in the areas of obstetrics and gynaecology, neurology (brain and spinal chord), ophthalmology, cardiology, thyroid and breast, together with general abdominal imaging investigations. Techniques are also widely used for the study of blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system and for the assessment of the arteries, using ultrasound equipment based on the Doppler effect.
