How does an ultrasonic machine work? How does an ultrasound scan look like?

The ultrasonic scanner is a device that uses ultrasound, its frequency is completely safe for the human body, and the range is 2-50 MHz. Each ultrasound system is equipped with components that emit ultrasound and receive it upon reflection from the examined organ or structure. The part that comes into contact with the patient’s body surface is called the probe.

In medicine, various types of ultrasound heads are used depending on the test performed and current needs. The head and the angle used make it possible to obtain cross-sections of the examined area. The ultrasonic device converts the received reflected ultrasound waves into an image displayed on the monitor.
