Diagnosis using Ultrasound sonography

Throw tissues ultrasound waves back to varying degrees
Are of such high frequency sound waves to be of the people can no longer be perceived, they are called ultrasonic waves. Ultrasound waves hit a surface, so they - like the light - reflected or refracted. Various tissues of the ultrasound waves also cast differently back strong.

The echo is recorded and converted into an image
Through this property, the ultrasound in medicine for diagnostics are used, because it allows an image of the body. On the skin a hydrated gel is applied, over which the transducer of the ultrasonic device glides well and improves the transmission. The sound waves emitted by the device, of the tissues in the body reflects to varying degrees and as an "echo" set back. This echo is recorded and converted into an electronic image that is displayed on a screen. The picture then shows different longitudinal or transverse sections of the respective body region. An ultrasound scan is painless and has no harmful effects on present knowledge.
