Change: when used by appropriatly trained professionals for medical indicationsCreating an ultrasound image is done in three steps - producing a sound wave, receiving echoes, and interpreting those echoes. Producing a sound wave Ultrasound waves are produced by a transducer. A transducer   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 1535)

Change: High ultrasound-frequencies (>7.5. Mhz) give a high resolution, although penetration depth is limited - and vice versa. Lower frequencies (< 3 Mhz) render limited resolution but with a deep penetration. A suitable compromise for abdominal work is to use routine probes with frequencies of 3.5 - 5.0 Mhz.
