2. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

   The machine used is called an ultrasound machine, a sonograph or an echograph. The visual image formed using this technique is called an ultrasonogram, a sonogram or an echogram. Ultrasound of carotid artery. Ultrasound is composed of sound waves with frequencies greater than 20,000 Hz, which is the approximate upper threshold of human hearing. [1]

3. Doppler ultrasonography - Wikipedia

   Meanwhile, spectral Doppler not only shows the direction of blood flow, it also shows the phases (pulsatility) and acceleration of the blood flow. Any sudden changes in direction of blood flow produces audible sounds on the ultrasound machine. [3] In spectral Doppler, the y-axis shows the direction and velocity of the flow.

4. Transcranial Doppler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_Doppler

   The ultrasound probe emits a high-frequency sound wave (usually a multiple of 2 MHz) that bounces off various substances in the body. These echoes are detected by a sensor in the probe. In the case of blood in an artery, the echoes have different frequencies depending on the direction and speed of the blood because of the Doppler effect. [2]

5. Doppler echocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_echocardiography

   Unlike 1D Doppler imaging, which can only provide one-dimensional velocity and has dependency on the beam to flow angle, [4] 2D velocity estimation using Doppler ultrasound is able to generate velocity vectors with axial and lateral velocity components. 2D velocity is useful even if complex flow conditions such as stenosis and bifurcation exist.

6. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

   Ultrasound image showing the liver, gallbladder and common bile duct. Medical ultrasound uses high frequency broadband sound waves in the megahertz range that are reflected by tissue to varying degrees to produce (up to 3D) images. This is commonly associated with imaging the fetus in pregnant women. Uses of ultrasound are much broader, however.

7. Echocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echocardiography

   Echocardiography, also known as cardiac ultrasound, is the use of ultrasound to examine the heart. It is a type of medical imaging , using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound . [ 1 ] The visual image formed using this technique is called an echocardiogram , a cardiac echo , or simply an echo .
