Ultrasound can be used to examine body organs and systems including the heart, pancreas, urinary system, brain, spinal cord, bladder, and cysts. In females, it can be used to view the ovaries, peritoneal cavity, and a fetus in its amniotic sac. It can also be used to guide surgical procedures, for example during the insertion of a biopsy needle into a particular area. Doppler ultrasound is used to measure blood flow. Air, bone, and other calcified tissues absorb nearly all the ultrasound beam, so it cannot be used to examine the bones or lungs.

How can you trace ultrasonic waves?
What?! Trace ultrasonic waves? Are you one hundred per cent cuckoo?! Why would anyone trace ultrasonic waves these days??
Why ultrasonic waves are not electromagnetic waves?
No. They are mechanical waves, ultrasonic waves are sound waves and require a medium for propagation. The word ultrasonic denotes that they have a frequency above the audible range (above 20 KHz).
Can ultrasonic wave pass through 1Cm thick iron plate?
Yes. Ultrasonic waves can pass through metal. The only difference between "normal" sound waves and ultrasonic waves is that we cannot hear ultrasonic waves. However, they behave the same.
Which waves are used in sonography?
ultrasonic waves
What is ultrasonic cleaning?
Ultrasonic cleaning is cleaning through ultrasonic waves with some chemicals.
What are the uses of ultrasonic waves for medical purposes?

Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?
No. Only transverse waves can be polarized Ultrasonic wasves are sound waves, therefore are longitudinal.
Are ultrasonic waves called as electromagnetic wave?
No ultrasonic waves are not a form of electromagnetic wave. Ultrasonic waves are nothing more than high frequency sound waves. They can be made with a suitable speaker or transducer.

What are the uses of ultrasonic sounds?
industrial applications of ultrasonic waves: 1. ultrasonic welding 2. ultrasonic cleaning. 3. ultrasonic drilling. 4. ultrasonic soldering. +++ 5. Flaw detection in metals etc. And many others if you stretch the term "industrial to include, say, medical!
