Abstract:
Ultrasound waves spread in the body in changing the acoustic pressure in a high frequency causing heat production or acoustic cavitation. There are many adverse effects known in cell cultures or in animals. Epidemiologic studies showed no evidence at the present time that ultrasound causes any biological effects in human subjects. Therefore further observations, especially of new applications are necessary.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
