Ultrasound is the name given to high frequency sound waves, so high that the sound cannot be heard by the human ear.  It is sometimes called sonography or ultrasonography.  An ultrasound transducer (probe), similar to a small microphone, transmits extremely short pulses of very high frequency ultrasound into the body and within a fraction of a second receives back multiple echoes from the part of the body being examined.  These echoes are converted almost instantaneously into two dimensional black and white images which can be recorded as a print or on DVD.  Diagnostic ultrasound is a very established, cost effective imaging tool which does not produce radiation and there are no known harmful effects.  It has had a significant impact on virtually all areas of medicine and Patient care.

TMCK's team of ultrasound specialists is led by Mr Bill Smith DCR(R) BMU.  You can look at Bill's profile, and profiles for the others in his team, by clicking on the links on the right.
