Non-contact ultrasound
ID: non-contact-ultrasound
Non-contact ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to create images of internal structures without requiring direct physical contact with the skin. This method is particularly useful in situations where traditional contact ultrasound might be challenging or uncomfortable for the patient. In non-contact ultrasound, the ultrasound transducer is typically positioned a short distance away from the skin surface. It can be combined with advanced technologies like air-coupled ultrasound or other techniques that enable the transmission of sound waves through air.
