《Inside Out Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging》是一本深入解析诊断超声成像技术原理与应用的专业书籍,旨在帮助读者全面理解并掌握超声成像在医学领域的广泛应用。
Ultrasound is based on the physical principle of sound wave propagation. It uses high-frequency sound waves that are beyond the range of human hearing to create images or visualize structures inside the body. These sound waves bounce off tissues and organs, returning echoes that provide information about their size, shape, and consistency. This technology converts these echoes into detailed images using a process called signal processing.
Ultrasound is widely used in medical diagnostics because it does not involve radiation exposure like X-rays or CT scans. It can produce real-time visualizations of internal body structures which makes it useful for various applications such as fetal imaging during pregnancy, examining abdominal organs, and detecting heart conditions through echocardiography.
