 Choose and activate appropriate transducer
 Place probe and indicator in correct orientation
 Adjust depth
 Adjust gain

INTRODUCTION TO ULTRASOUND
Why Ultrasound? – Portable, fast, inexpensive, non-invasive, no ionizing radiation
Limitations of Ultrasound – Depends on skill of user (“operator-dependent”) and patient body
habitus. Ultrasound does not pass well through bone, and is scattered by air
ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) – A philosophy of radiation use based on keeping
exposure as low as possible.
How Does Ultrasound Work? – Piezoelectric Effect
Image Credit: Eric Shappell Loyola ‘13
When electricity is applied to piezoelectric crystals, the vibrations produce sound waves that
travel outward. The waves hit objects and bounce back to the piezoelectric crystals, and the
mechanical energy produced from the vibration of the crystal is converted into electrical energy.
The ultrasound machine calculates the time it takes for sound waves to travel back to the probe
and produces a gray-scale image on the screen.
Knobology:
- Find ‘ON’ button
- Depth
- Gain
Probes:
- Linear, Curvilinear, Phased Array, Endocavitary
- High frequency probes vs Low frequency probes (Resolution, Penetration)
Structure of the Human Body (2021/2022) Amy Kule, MD
Basic Motions:
- Sweep
- Slide
- Fan
- Rotate
- Rock (Heel-Toe)
Ultrasound Convention:
- Probe marker (Bump) to the patient’s right or head
Scanning Planes:
-Longitudinal (Sagittal)
-Transverse (Axial)
-Coronal
Basic Terms:
-Echogenic – Structure or medium capable of reflecting or transmitting ultrasound waves,
creating a brighter image
-Anechoic – Image appears dark (black)
Example: Fluid-filled structures such as bladder, blood vessel
-Hyperechoic – Ultrasound Image Appears Brighter Than Surroundings (White)
Example: Bone
-Hypoechoic - Ultrasound image appears darker than surrounding structures
-Isoechoic – Ultrasound image appears similar in brightness to surrounding structures
