I use a portable pocket ultrasound device instead of a stethoscope to listen to the heart, and I share it with the patient in real time. 'Look at your valve, look at your heart-muscle strength.' So they're looking at it with me. Normally a patient is tested by an ultrasonographer who is not allowed to tell them anything.

I had to have tests for cancer and other diseases - it wasn't much fun. I was getting a shooting pain in my hip and we didn't know what it was. First of all we thought it was an old injury. But they didn't find anything wrong, even though when I had an ultrasound test it was all really swollen.

I really discovered I had thyroid disease by accident. My son was having some health concerns, and as I filled out his patient history I noticed I had a lot of similar symptoms. I mentioned it to the doctor, and he ran blood work and finally an ultrasound of my thyroid.

I'm in Stockholm in my office. I just got here after seeing my eighth child on an ultrasound, so I'm in a good mood. It's beautiful: an energetic little skeleton.

When you do take the home pregnancy test, it doesn't quite seem real. But when you see the baby and the heartbeat on the ultrasound, it's so incredible.

Medical Imaging

An ultrasound is often one of the first tests done when checking for certain health conditions.

Machine Usage

'Ultrasound' in the context of a device may confuse beginners; clear context usually helps clarify.

Equipment Vocabulary

Ultrasound refers to more than just capturing images; it has therapeutic and cleaning applications too.

Beyond Imaging

Ultrasound in therapy helps with pain relief and promoting healing by using sound waves.

Therapeutic Use

Beyond medical uses, ultrasound can clean intricate objects through ultrasonic cleaning technology.
