2. Therapeutic ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_ultrasound

   Ultrasound is applied using a transducer or applicator that is in direct contact with the patient's skin. Gel is used on all surfaces of the head to reduce friction and assist transmission of the ultrasonic waves. Therapeutic ultrasound in physical therapy is alternating compression and rarefaction of sound waves with a frequency of 0.7 to 3.3 ...

3. Home ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_ultrasound

   Home ultrasound is the provision of therapeutic ultrasound via the use of a portable or home ultrasound machine. This method of medical ultrasound therapy can be used for various types of pain relief and physical therapy. In physics, the term "ultrasound" [1] applies to all acoustic energy with a frequency above the audible range of human ...

   Terason is the market leader in ultrasound-guided venous intervention. Terason systems are routinely used in the fields of vascular surgery, interventional radiology, endocrinology and nephrology, cardiology, musculoskeletal (MSK) and breast surgery. More recently, Terason was the first company to turn a laptop (MacBook Pro) into an ultrasound ...

5. Ultrasonic transducer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_transducer

   The transducer may be used in contact with the skin, as in fetal ultrasound imaging, or inserted into a body opening such as the rectum or vagina. Clinicians who perform ultrasound-guided procedures often use a probe positioning system to hold the ultrasonic transducer. [9] Compared to other medical imaging modalities, ultrasound has several ...

6. Portable ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_ultrasound

   Portable ultrasound is a modality of medical ultrasonography that utilizes small and light devices, compared to the console-style ultrasound machines that preceded them. In most cases these mobile ultrasound systems could be carried by hand and in some cases even operated for a time on battery power alone.

7. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

   Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.
