How Ultrasounds Work
•Probe transmits sound pulses•Sound waves hit boundary•Waves reflect back •Waves relayed to machine•Distance of waves calculated•Image displayed from distances
The Ultrasound Machine
•Transducer Probe•CPU•Transducer Probe Controls•Display•Keyboard•Disk Storage Device•Printer
GE Voluson 4D Ultrasound Machine
•Takes 3D images and adds time•25 volume scans per second in three-dimensional planes.•11 probe types
Advantages of 4D Ultrasounds
•Determine fetal age •Analyze fetal development •Evaluate multiple pregnancies •Evaluate high-risk pregnancies
More Advantages
Detect:•Abnormal bleeding•Ovarian tumor/fibroids •Ectopic pregnancy•Abnormalities•Structural problems
Conclusion
Ultrasounds are:• A type of computer• Used to look at the fetus• Now using four-dimensional photos• Used to detect abnormalities• Very helpful to the medical industry
