Module 1: Historical Development Flashcards
word sonography means
Latin word SONUS (sound) and Greek word GRAPHIEN
(to write)
Anatomic imaging with an ultrasound is accomplished with
Pulse-echo technique
sent into the tissues to interact with them. Echoes return from the tissue providing information that is useful for anatomic imaging.
UTZ pulses
both generates and detects the returning echoes. The ultrasound instrument processes the echo formation and generates appropriate dots, which form the ultrasound image on the display.
Transducer
Backbone of any ultrasound device
Transduceer
Advantages of Sonography
- Mobility
- More cost effective
- More versatility
- MInimal supplies

Locations are identified through soundwaves being reflected and bounced back
Echolocation
Historical Perspective of Sound
1st provide experimental evidence that non-audible sound exist around us
Lazaro Spallanzani
Historical Perspective of Sound
In 1794, Spallanzani hypothesized that bats navigated using?
sound waves
Historical Perspective of Sound
- used underwater church bell
- proved sound travelled faster through water than air
Jean Daniel Colladon (1826)
Historical Perspective of Sound
- Hypothesized that the pitch of a sound would change if the source of the sound was moving
Christian Andreas Doppler (1803-1853)
Historical Perspective of Sound
an important tool in ultrasonography today
Color doppler ultrasound
Historical Perspective of Sound
discovered the “Piezo-Electric Effect” in certain crystals
Pierre and Jacques Curie (1880)
Historical Perspective of Sound
led to the development of the ultrasound transducer
Pierre and Jacques Curie (1880)
Historical Perspective of Sound
the backbone of any ultrasound device
Transducer
Historical Perspective of Sound
what is the first transducer called?
Hydrophone
Historical Perspective of Sound
invented the hydrophone after Titanic sinking (1912) to detect icebergs and submarines during WWI
Paul Langevin (1915)
Historical Perspective of Sound
First physician to use ultrasound for medical diagnosis (of brain tumors)
Karl Dussik (1942)
Historical Perspective of Sound
First described the use of ultrasound to diagnose gallstones
George Ludwig, MD (1948)
