Ultrasound machine uses high frequency sound waves and their echoes in the result to determine the size, shape and depth of the anomaly. This allows the various organs in the body, which will be considered directly in the doctor's office or clinic.
Display - this is the most recognizable part of any unit. As the operator manages the sensor probe (we'll talk about that in the future), then send and receive data, which are processed by the processor, and the software. This data is translated into visual information that is displayed on a monitor or display. Image sharpness depends on the age and display resolution.
Sensor Probe - Probe eyes and ears of ultrasound. The probe sends sound waves into the patient and receives the reflected vibrations. As fluctuations trip into the patient, they Bounce Back at different intervals depending on the fact that the jump off. The sensors of the probe collects this information and moves with the CPU.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) - computer processo
r, which uses specialized software that interprets the sound waves, which are returned to the sensor probe. He transferred to the image data or a series of images, allowing physicians and technicians to view on the affected body part or parts.
Keyboard - Since this is a specialized computer, ultrasonic machines keyboard like a regular computer. This allows the operator to enter information about the patient or the results during the procedure. Hard Drive Storage - like a regular computer, ultra-sound, capable of storing information for later use. Information can be stored on the internal hard disk or a CD-ROM or DVD. information can also be stored in digital format and uploaded to the Internet, so that it can be available in the office or anywhere you have an Internet connection.
Printer - During the ultrasound procedure, the operator can print images for later study or to be taken home sick, as a rule, expect parents.
Video Recorder - some ultrasound is able to record the procedure as it happens. This type of recorder, specially designed for medical use. His memory of the digital frame provides a noiseless, crystal clear freeze and is fully compatible with other S-VHS (VHS or) records tapes. As in the printer, which allows parents to expect to take home a report on the development of their child.
Depending on the brand and model of ultrasound, there may be additional parts or options. Some suppliers offer options as endorectal and endovaginal transducers, which offer higher resolution than traditional abdominal sensor. Because they can produce scans close to the affected area, they can get more accurate results. Additional features were added to the smaller, portable machines, ultrasound, which makes them versatile, powerful, cheaper alternative to many doctors and clinics.
We should also mention the most important part of the ultrasound machine the operator or sonographer. Sonographers are medical professionals who perform ultrasound scans for diagnostic purposes. From time to time, the physician and sonographer are united in the same. The accuracy of ultrasound examination and its results depend on operator education, training, skills and experience. Diagnosis more accurate information on the exams, the more accurate the doctor can be. The best ultrasound equipment, which can be bought for money, not much use if you have the most qualified people operating it.
