Scope note: Visualización de las estructuras profundas del cuerpo mediante el registro del reflejo de los ecos de pulsos de ondas ultrasónicas dirigidas a los tejidos. En el empleo de ultrasonidos para generar imágenes o con fines diagnósticos se utilizan frecuencias que oscilan entre 1,6 a 10 megahercios.
