Is there an echo in here?
|
Yes, actually there is.
As a sonographer, you would use special equipment to direct sound waves into areas of a patient's body to generate images for diagnostic purposes. As the sound waves bounce off of the area being examined - a patient's liver, for example - they create an echo that is captured by a computer and converted into pictures on a screen.
This procedure is known as diagnostic medical sonography, or ultrasound. |
Sound ultra-interesting?
