Ultrasound Scanner Applications & Uses
This section describes the use of ultrasound in various fields. The major applications of ultrasound can be grouped under medical (human), veterinary, and cardiology field.
Important fields where ultrasound is applied are: 1) Robotic surgery 2) Human Body Imaging 3) Embryology 4) Medical Ultrasonography 5) Reproductive Management of Dairy Cattle 6) Echocardiography
3-D Ultrasound Scanner in Robotic Surgeries
Human Echolocation Using Own Converted Ultrasound Signals Individuals with visual impairments have difficulty localizing in unknown environments. Localization could be attained through down converted ultrasound echoes in the auditory domain.
Human Body Imaging with Ultrasound This website deals with the medical applications of ultrasound. It also tells about the way the ultrasound scans are made. This website provides details about ultrasound imaging of organs such as the liver, gallbladder and kidneys.
This page introduces how 3D ultrasound images are generated from a series of images in 3 different planes. There is an explanative 3D static image of the 12-week fetus.
Ultrasound Imaging of Human Tooth Enamel There is a complete circumferential scan of a human tooth and its underlying dentino-enamel junction using ultrasound at frequencies in the 10-MHz range.

Mechanical injury from wearing
orthodontic braces causes progressive root resorption, limiting the duration
that braces can be worn. The new device will work to counteract the
destructive resorptive process while allowing for the continued wearing of
corrective braces. With approximately five million people in . Implantable Ultrasound Emitter Array for Medical Applications An implantable ultrasonic transducer array for medical diagnosis and stimulation has been developed. This device uses thin-film drum structures to emit and sense ultrasounds. UNC Ultrasound/Medical Augmented Reality Research http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/us/ This research group is working to develop and operate a system that allows a physician to see directly inside a patient, using augmented reality (AR). AR combines computer graphics with images of the real world. Medical ultrasonography (sonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize muscles and internal organs, their size, structures and possible pathologies or lesions. There are a plethora of diagnostic and therapeutic applications practiced in medicine. There are areas where ultrasound can make massive contributions to our understanding of processes and transformations. For instance, ultrasound tomography allows us to ‘see’ dynamic processes in a non-invasive way, enabling accurate on-line analysis and evaluations of critical scenarios. Reproductive Management of Dairy Cattle Application of transrectal real-time ultrasonography to the study of bovine reproduction represents a technological breakthrough that has revolutionized our knowledge of reproductive biology. New research information generated through ultrasonic imaging has clarified the nature of complex reproductive processes in cattle including ovarian follicular dynamics, corpus luteum function, and fetal development.

Veterinary Applications of Ultrasound This website explains features like, novel ways of using ultrasound, improved veterinary care and more such details.
Diagnostic Ultrasound in Veterinary Applications This site provides research papers, related links on topics like “techniques and applications of transabdominal ultrasonography in the pregnant mare”, “ultrasonography as an adjunct to pregnancy assessments in the mare” and more.
Endoscopic Ultrasound Instrumentation Endoluminal scanning under endoscopic guidance, or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), has become the most significant advance for imaging the gastrointestinal (GI) tract wall and contiguous organs in the past 20 years. It was originally designed to overcome the limitations in humans to imaging the abdominal organs transabdominally, such as large penetration depths and GI air.
Echocardiography is the first line of defense against cardiovascular disease. It is the most commonly used imaging modality in cardiology and is especially valuable in the detection of heart valve abnormalities.
Ultrasound Scanning for Carcass Evaluation Ultrasound scanning can be a useful aid in assessing the breeding merit of animals within a flock for carcass composition.
Ships use SONAR to determine the depth of water they're in. These use ultrasound - not because it would otherwise be noisy for fish, but because having a higher frequency allows it to penetrate further.
