Brief Overview of UltrasoundBrief Overview of Ultrasound
Ultrasonic frequencies are high frequency Ultrasonic frequencies are high frequency signals that are above range of human signals that are above range of human hearing. hearing.
Human hearing range is 20 Hz to 20 kHzHuman hearing range is 20 Hz to 20 kHz Ultrasound instruments sense 20 kHz to 100 Ultrasound instruments sense 20 kHz to 100
