In the medical field, ultrasound played a significant role due to the fact that doctors can't see the patient’s organ failure without going through a surgery of opening the patient’s body. Ultrasound is one of the most safest and painless solution to this. Ultrasound imaging is known as sonography.
It is known that ultrasound is a type of sound that is too high pitch for human to hear. It is approximately more than 20 000 Hertz. Ultrasound is the opposite of infrasound, which is a sound wave that is too low for human to hear. Scientists now used ultrasound for the benefit of humans, such as ultrasonography (USG), which is a method of producing the images of the inside of the body using ultrasonic sound. In addition to that, ultrasound is being used in many different field, one of the main use of it is to scan or

People can see the image in real time and it is free of dangerous radiation. So far, there are no side effects to be found while undergoing this procedure. Ultrasound technology is also less costly than CT and MRI technology, and so, insurance companies do not mind covering it. Ultrasound is able to detect lesions in women when mammograms cannot. It is able to detect blood flow through vessels. It is time saving to do the ultrasound exams and painless. Breast cancer and tumor can also be treated using ultrasound. There are many cases where ultrasound successfully treat the disease as well.
Nevertheless, there are some cases where ultrasound depend heavily on operator action. Reflective review of images provides only imperfect quality control. Due its inability to give a global picture for orientation, the image is imperfect. Other than that, ultrasound cannot used to detect the needle placement into vessels. Although ultrasound is frequently used to prevent an invasive measure for diagnosis, sometimes it is unable to determine whether or not a mass is
