For the diagnosis of disorders and the monitoring of patients, healthcare providers need to be able to look not only at a patient but also inside the body of a patient. Sending and receiving ultrasound waves is one of the most common methods used to do this. From a pregnancy consultation to the cardiologist – ultrasounds are widely used. By making ultrasound images with several transducers simultaneously and combining that information, the image quality of an ultrasound can be significantly improved.
Ultrasound is a well-known and widely used way in healthcare to look inside our body. To make the invisible visible. Making ultrasounds costs sixty to eighty euros each, while a CT or MRI scan costs nearly a thousand euros. However, ultrasounds also have disadvantages, which means that more expensive alternatives are often necessary.
