Ultraheliimpulsse

Ultraheliimpulsse, often translated as ultrasonic pulses, are short bursts of sound waves with frequencies above the range of human hearing, typically exceeding 20 kilohertz. These pulses are generated by piezoelectric transducers or other specialized acoustic devices. When these pulses encounter a material, they can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed. The study of how these pulses interact with their surroundings is the basis for various diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

In medical imaging, ultrasonic pulses are transmitted into the body. The echoes that return from different tissues and organs are detected and processed to create real-time images. This non-invasive technique is widely used for prenatal care, examining abdominal organs, and evaluating blood flow. In industrial settings, ultrasonic pulses are employed for non-destructive testing to detect internal flaws or measure material thickness. Therapeutic ultrasound uses higher intensity ultrasonic pulses to generate heat within tissues, aiding in pain relief and promoting healing. The precise control over the frequency and duration of these pulses allows for targeted applications across diverse fields.
