AB  - Diagnostic  ultrasound  has  experienced  tremendous  technological  advances.  Over  the  past  50  years,  ultrasound  has  evolved  from  a  single  specialty  tool  with  large  bulky  machines  to  a  technology  that  is  highly  compact  and  portable.  The  development  of  smaller,  less  expensive  ultrasound  systems  has  increased  the  number  of  medical  specialties  utilizing  ultrasound.  Many  are  discovering  the  benefits  of  “point-of-care”  diagnostic  ultrasound.  Medical  students,  nurses,  mid-level  providers,  and  physicians  have  embraced  ultrasound  as  a  tool  to  facilitate  patient  evaluation  and  improve  outcomes  of  invasive  procedures.  The  operator  must  have  a  basic  understanding  of  the  physical  principles  of  ultrasound.  It  is  these  principles  upon  which  ultrasound  bases  its  ability  to  be  an  effective  tool  in  medical  imaging.
