This month, let's focus on the many advantages ultrasound brings to patient care and encourage its daily use in medical practice!
World Ultrasound Awareness Month
As we celebrate Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month, it's the perfect time to highlight the importance and utility of this essential imaging technique in medical practice. Ultrasound is an indispensable screening method, used for obtaining accurate images of internal structures. Its non-invasive nature, lack of radiation, and ability to be repeated as needed make it a vital tool in diagnostics.
Choosing the right transducer is crucial depending on the depth and location of the target area:
👉 For superficial structures (thyroid, breast, eye), a high-frequency linear transducer (7-12 MHz) provides precise details.
👉 Deeper abdominal structures like the liver, pancreas, and kidneys require a lower-frequency convex transducer (2.25-3.5 MHz)
