3. INTRODUCTION
• The father of ultrasound John J. Wild
• In the your of 1916, ultrasound was fird and for, medical proposes,
ultrasound was the brainchild of engirem Tom Brain and obstetrician lan
Donald.
• The active elemente in ultrasound transducers are reade of Special Ceranic
Crystal materials Called piezoelectrics
• Ultrasound waves are transmitted from the transduty through the gol iste the
body. These short burate of found energy hit the desired Organs and rition to
the proks as an echo.

4. ABSTRACT
• Ultrasound technology is used high-energy sound waves to
look at tissues and Organs inside the body. Ultrasound
probes are being used for the detection. There are different
types of probes, involved in ultrasound machines which are
linear, curvilinear and phased array. Considering this in
mind our team decided to design a cost effective ultrasound
probe which involves 2Mhz frequency and are highly
efficient for skin and soft tissue diagnosis.

TITLE & YEAR DESCRIPTION INFERENCE
Overview of Ultrasound Imaging
Applications in Dermatology - 2021
Complete visualization of lessons is critical for
the accurate diagnosis and management of
dermatological diseases. Currently the most
readily available technologies used by
dermatologies include dermoscopy and
photography.
US is a useful non-invasive modality in
the field of dermatology that can provide
critical information to complement the
clinical examination.It can accrately assess
disease severity and activity in several
inflammatory dermatoses.
Development of Low - Cost Medical
Ultrasound Scanner Using a
monostalic Synthetic Apeature -
January 2017
The design of low-cost medical ultrasound
scanners aimmed at the detection of maternal
mortality risk factors in developing
countries.Modern Ultrasound scanners typically
employ a highh element count transducer array
with multichannel transmit & receive
electrodes.
In this paper a low cost monostatic
synthetic aperature scanner(MSAS)was
preseented with potential applications in
low resource countries for the detection of
materrnal risk facctors.This system was
designed to reduce the production costs by
replacing the multi-element piezoelectric
transducer array by asingle piezoelectric
element.

TITLE & YEAR DESCRIPTION INFERENCE
Ultrasound for the Evaluation of Skin
and Soft Tissue Infections - May
2015
Skin and soft tissue infcetions including
abscesses and cellulitides,are common problems
seen by physicians.The treatment of soft tissue
infections varies depending on the collection
requiring incisions and drainage
Colour flow Doppler sonogrphy will aid
in recognition of adjacent vascular
structures and mayn also detect blood
flow through a pesudoanerysm .Lymph
nodes are highly vascular and should
demonstrate strong colour flow throughout
while abcesses should not.
A Low cost Simulator to Practice
Ultrasound Image Interpretation and
Probe Manipulation: Design & firat
Evaluation - April 2o11
Ultrassonography is the lowest cost no risk
medical imaging technique.However, reading an
ultrasound US well as performing a good US
probe positioning remain difficult tasks. More
precisely we tackle in this paper the tisssue
providing acost effective realistic intefrface for
the probe manipulation with basic haptic
feedback.
We have presented a simulator for
education of young practionier to US
image interpretation and probe
manipulation .Our objective is to provide
a cost effective simulator that allows a
basic haptic feedback and which can be
easily used a standard workstation.

8. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
• In this project Piezoelectric transducer are used for
diagnosing the skin and soft tissue.
• Ultrasound probe are designed with high efficiency .
• In this project our trying to design low cost Ultrasound
probe
