Physical foundations of the formation of ultrasounographic image

Abstract

The ultrasound scan is a diagnostic method by image that details information in real-time of the abdominal and pelvic organs structure. Tissues interfaces reflect the sounds and that mentioned reflection is processed by a computer which shoots either a picture or a real-time movement image into a screen. The current paper consists of a brief analysis of the ultrasound scan image formation in which terminology concepts, instrumentation and ways of displaying are circumstantially discussed. Yet, it summarizes information about the ultrasound scan material principles. The knowledge enlargement of this technology allows the best comprehension of the applications and limitations of this diagnostic method, which has become a routine in the veterinarian medicine for small animals. Keywords: ultrasound scan, diagnostic by image, artifacts
