Biomedical ultrasound has emerged as a revolutionary and indispensable tool in modern healthcare. This article explores the principles, techniques, and applications of ultrasound in the medical field. Biomedical ultrasound utilizes high-frequency sound waves to generate real-time images of internal structures and tissues by analysing reflected waves. Various ultrasound imaging techniques, including 2D, 3D, and Doppler ultrasound, finds applications in obstetrics, radiology, cardiology, emergency medicine, oncology, and rehabilitation. The advantages of biomedical ultrasound lie in its non-invasiveness, real-time imaging, and absence of ionizing radiation, making it safe and patientfriendly. However, its limitations arise from its inability to penetrate dense bone or air-filled structures. As research and technology continue to evolve, biomedical ultrasound promises to play an increasingly pivotal role in enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic practices, illuminating the path towards better healthcare outcomes.
