Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body. It has several advantages over other imaging modalities like having no known long term side effects, being widely available, and being relatively inexpensive. Ultrasound works by using a transducer to send sound waves into the body which bounce off tissues and organs and are received by the transducer. The echoes are used to form images on screen in real time. While it is good for imaging soft tissues, ultrasound has limitations penetrating bone and imaging deep structures or when gas is present between the transducer and area of interest. It also requires an experienced operator to get high quality images.

An MRI scan is a painless procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues. Preparation may involve changing into loose, metal-free clothing and avoiding food, drink, smoking, and medications containing caffeine for several hours prior. During the scan, the patient lies still inside the MRI machine while images are taken, which can take 15-90 minutes. After the scan, the patient can resume normal activities unless sedated, in which case they should avoid driving or drinking for 24 hours.

Ultrasound machines use high-frequency sound waves to safely produce images of internal organs and tissues without using harmful radiation. The machines emit ultrasound pulses that bounce off tissues and are detected to generate live images on a screen. While initially used mainly for obstetric imaging, ultrasound is now widely used by doctors to examine many organs and guide procedures, making it a highly cost-effective diagnostic tool.

At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.
2. INTRODUCTION
• Ultrasound is a sound energy in
the form of waves with a
frequency higher then the
human Audible range(20Hz-
20kHz).
• Ultrasound is a way of using
sound waves to look inside the
Body
• Use for diagnosis and treatment
3. WORKING
PRINCIPLE
• Ultrasound waves generates by vibrating crystal inside ceramic
probe
• Sound waves that travels towards tissue are partly reflected at
each tissue interface
• Piezo-electric principle: current cause crystal to vibrate,
returning waves create electric current
• Following phenomenon occur when ultrasound propagates for
imaging
Reflection
Refraction
Diffraction
Scattering
attenuation

5. MODES OF ULTRASOUND
A-mode (A=Amplitude)
The amplitude of reflected
sound is displayed on an
oscilloscope screen
M-mode (M=Motion)
It reflects the motion of the
organ's structure e.g. heart
over time due to its excellent
temporal resolution. M mode is
the most accurate mode
among all
6. MODES OF ULTRASOUND
B-mode (B=Brightness)
Essential imaging modality in
the diagnostic ultrasound. An
amplitude of the reflected
ultrasound signal is converted
into a gray scale image
D- mode (D=Doppler)
This imaging mode is based on
doppler's effect, change in
frequency caused by the
reciprocal movements of sound
generator and the observer
7. GENERAL PROBLEMS
• Probes problem
• Ambient Temperature issue
• Software issues
• Sensitive to Noisy environment
8. MAINTENANCE
• Preventive maintenance is not a big
deal in this type of imaging modality
as it is standalone system
• It is good practice to
properly calibrate after every six
month
• Clean all external surface and filters
• Check system and power supply fans
• Inspect system controls, power cords
and cables for crack, cuts and wear
9. SAFETY AND
PRECAUTIONS
• Ultrasound is safe and painless
• To minimize potential adverse health effects
the operator should use minimum patient
exposure required to achieve desired
benefits
• The transducer is to be at 90' during use and
has to slowly move in order to minimize the
risk of causing hot spots
• If feel any pain during application remove
the probe, it is due to over heartiness of
tissues
• Use the power source that has mentioned on
