Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images. This section includes breast ultrasound, echocardiography (echo), transthoracic echo (TTE), transesophageal echo (TEE), echo contrast, transducers, ultrasound software and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).

Ultrasound experts urged the health care community to work to expand utilization of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) in order to offer patients broader access to low-cost, safe and reliable diagnostic imaging.
