CARDIOTECH DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING

An ultrasound is a safe painless way to visualize the organs of your body. The images are acquired by utilizing sound waves... A small handheld device called a transducer(probe) covered in gel is pressed to your skin at the location of interest to obtain the images. The transducer sends sound waves into your body, collects sound waves that bounce back and sends them to a computer, which creates the images.
