'''Ultrasonic Imaging''' is the practice of obtaining an [[image]] through the use of [[ultrasound]].  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.

Although ultrasonic images are generally of lesser quality than those of other imaging modalities, such as [[CT]] and [[MRI]], ultrasound remains popular due to its substantially lower cost, higher portability, and ability to easily generate real-time images of moving structures.
