Specialty Definition: Ultrasonography

Domain	Definition
Health	The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections of echoes of pulses of ultrasonic waves directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz. (references)
Mining	A modification of the use of ultrasonic waves for the detection of internal flaws in metals. By using a persistent screen cathode ray tube and causing the echoes to brighten the trace instead of deflecting it, an ultrasonic image is produced that can be examined and interpreted like aradiograph.
