Ultrasound

It is obvious that ultrasound, which is used as a medical imaging technique in many different fields, also contributes to the treatment of diseases in the field of neurology. Let's take a closer look at what ultrasound is and what it does in this article.

What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is an imaging method of body parts by usage of high frequency sound waves. Everyone knows that ultrasound is generally used to view the baby during pregnancy, but it is also used in many parts of the body for many different diseases.

What Does Ultrasound Do?

With the high-frequency sound waves transmitted by ultrasound, the tissues and organs in the inner parts of the body can be viewed in general terms. In addition to other imaging methods, x-rays, which we call “radiation”, are not used during the ultrasound. This means that ultrasound is a harmless procedure.

How Is Ultrasound Applied?

As a result of the ultrasound process applied by directly contacting a special device with the area to be imaged, the images related to the area are reflected on the screen of the device. By applying ultrasound in the field of neurology, the size, density, homogeneity, temperature, and different tendencies of the brain are examined. The images taken afterward are interpreted medically in the most appropriate way.

In Which Areas Is Ultrasound Used?

Ultrasound is used to complete the diagnosis by imaging the parts of the body that cannot be accessed by the endoscopy method and cannot be seen with the bare eye. In the field of neurology, ultrasound is used to investigate various infections, to examine specific diseases, to visualize interventions in cyst and biopsy treatments, and in many other areas.
