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.
