Biomedical Ultrasound: Illuminating the Inner World of Medicine
Author(s): Leon Mark*
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 ult.. View More»
