al ultrasound equipment works on basic principals. These machines act in the same way that bats do when they fly. First, the machine sends out high frequency sound waves into the body. These waves all travel at the same speed until they come to some sort of a differential. This might be where bone meets tissue or fluids meet tissue. At this border, some of the waves are reflected back to the medical ultrasound equipment, while others continue on. Once all the waves have returned, the machine determines the distance of the borders by using the length of time that the waves took to return, the intensity of the wave, and the density of tissue. All of this happens in micro-seconds, and the results...
