Such images are generated by using an ultrasonic [[transducer]] to transmit and receive sound waves, and then constructing a picture by processing the received signal. Ultrasonic imaging is widely used in clinical [[medicine]] to image [[anatomy|anatomical structures]] as well as [[physiology|physiological]] and [[pathology|pathological]] processes. |
