An ultrasounds machine is a portable, electronic device that uses sound waves to create images of the inside of the body.

It is used to view the abdomen, heart, blood vessels, and structures of the fetus.

making it easy to carry. The home ultrasound machine is large and has a built-in screen.

An ultrasounds machine uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body.

Sound waves are sent through a transducer, which is a small device that is placed on the skin.

The sound waves bounce off the organs and structures of the body and return to the transducer.

The transducer converts the sound waves into electrical signals, which are then sent to a computer.
