HOW TO IT’S WORK?
When you do an ultrasound,
the body part that is
examined will be applied to
the gel, and then the doctor
will move the controller
stick called the transducer
over the body part. This
transducer will send high
frequency sound waves to
organs and body fluids in the
area. This sound wave will
then bounce back in the form
of an electrical signal to the
machine that will convert it
into an image. You can see
pictures of organs in your
body on the monitor screen.
