Question
A pregnant woman visits the doctor. The GP decides to request ultrasound imaging to check on the pregnancy. Describe why ultrasound is the imaging technique of choice to monitor foetal development in the womb. Describe how ultrasound can be used to provide diagnostic images in medicine. Highlight the role of sound for imaging and describe how sound is generated and received. Explain in detail which physical properties of human tissue is exploited by this technique. Describe the ultrasound technique that can be used to monitor blood flow and diagnose diseases that impact blood flow. Explain the physical principles underlying magnetic resonance imaging and provide three examples where it could be used to provided information not accessible with ultrasound. [9]
