A set of processing parameters sent to the ultrasound device control how the processing chain performs its operations.

In the previous example, a diagnostic quality ultrasound can be accomplished by non-medically trained individuals manipulating an ultrasound device located with the patient under guidance from a remote location.

They said their experiments demonstrated that a sideeffect of ultrasound devices installed too close to one another was that their normally inaudible sound waves could clash, and could be heard.

With their sonar systems and large auditory cortices, whales live in a transparent world, able to peer, like medical ultrasound devices, into the interior of bodies.

Modern portable ultrasound devices allow the user to visualize internal anatomy, including the nerves to be blocked, neighboring anatomic structures and the needle as it approaches the nerves.

It works much like an ultrasound machine, but instead of getting readings using sound waves, it bounces light waves off the body, providing pinpoint images.

He has been using an ultrasound machine to ease movement in his back for the past two to three years.

In 2015, they captured a small troupe of wild wallabies and monitored them through several pregnancies via a portable ultrasound machine.

Staff then used an ultrasound machine, which had to be reset twice before it worked, to try to detect a heartbeat.

The junior obstetrician wheeled in a portable ultrasound machine, tangling his foot in the cord.

He did the whole thing looking at the ultrasound screen.

The professor was going to watch the operation on the ultrasound screen, so he could see more clearly what he was doing.

He turned the ultrasound screen towards me and pointed at the centre.

She was given a local anaesthetic and remained conscious throughout the hour-long operation, watching on an ultrasound screen as surgeons manoeuvred instruments with a precision measured in fractions of millimetres.

At that moment, the ultrasound screen goes static but recovers after a moment.

The youngster has been working daily in the swimming pool and using an ultrasound technique to help speed up his return.

However, smaller endometriosis implants can not be visualized with ultrasound technique.

He teaches ultrasound techniques to doctors across a wide variety of specialties, from the emergency room to internal medicine, how to capture and read ultrasound images.

Ultrasound techniques can also be used to directly measure muscle thickness and quantify intramuscular fat.

Modern methods of treatment are being utilized, including ultrasound techniques, stimulator's, diathermy and iodized and galvanic baths.

Using ultrasound technology and special effects, this amazing film reveals how kittens grow in the womb (right).

It led to advances in sonar and ultrasound technology and kick-started the science of biomimicry, or design by nature.

Its infrared light and pulsing ultrasound technology smooths the hair cuticles, conditioning and hydrating without using any heat.

I turn on to my left side and the echo, with three points of contact, uses the same ultrasound technology as a pregnancy scan to take pictures of my heart.

It uses microfocused ultrasound technology, which heats tissue at various depths through the skin's layers and beyond to the fibromuscular tissue (previously only reached by surgery).

An ultrasound test revealed an atrial septal defect, or hole in the heart, between the two main chambers, or atria.

But then came the fateful ultrasound test.

This special type of ultrasound test measures the stiffness of the liver and, in combination with blood tests, can give a more accurate picture of early worrying changes.

He eagerly anticipates his patient report card, noting that an ultrasound test a few years back alerted him to a kidney problem that he had treated.

If none of these apply to you, then have your hormone levels checked, get an internal examination, and if necessary have an ultrasound test and scans.

The disturbances caused by magnetostriction then propagate in the material as an ultrasound wave.

The patch itself consists of a thin elastomer sheet with small “islands” of electrodes and piezoelectric transducers that create ultrasound waves from electricity.

The probe measures blood flow by bouncing ultrasound waves off blood cells flowing through the aorta, the main blood vessel.

Ultrasound waves produced by vibrating piezoelectric crystals turn liquid into particles of five micrometres, making them small enough to float in the air for a minute.

The procedure uses a scanner to locate the tumour and ultrasound waves to destroy it.
