Chapter One Basic Physics of Ultrasonography B-Mode 1 Aubrey Fessenden introduced trans- oceanic telegraphy and long-range ra- dio broadcasts into our lives. Later on, modern radars entered our lives after the sound waves that were used in war environments. The first US device in the field of medical use has entered the medical world with the method called "A-Mod" and forms the basis of the US device that we use today. 1.2. Basic Features of ultra- sound In addition to generating simul- taneous sound waves, the US device also detects the reflection and return of these sound waves from a surface, allowing us to visualize tissues and organs in various shades of gray on the monitor of the US device. Sound waves reflected back from the surface are called echoes (Figure 1-1). These echoes are projected onto the screen as bright or matt shades of gray, de- pending on the intensity of the “reflect- ed echo” with the help of transducers in the US device (Figure 1-2). 1.1. Introduction Although the introduction of ul- trasonography to Emergency Medicine patient care is about 20 years and it is widely used abroad, the use of ultraso- nography (US) in our country has start- ed to become widespread in the last 5 years. We can easily say that US, which is an indispensable diagnostic tool in some clinics, will replace our stetestops in the future. However, an- other important point we can say here is that any diagnostic tool can never replace a good physical examination. As it is an easily accessible, cheaper and practical method than other radio- logic diagnostic modalities, it is a safe and reproducible diagnostic method with no ionizing radiation burden. It is becoming increasingly popular not only in Emergency Medicine but also in other clinical branches. Pierre Curie, who made use of sound waves for the first time, discov- ered that when pressure is applied to crystals, it turns into electrical energy. This is called piezoelectric effect. Later in the early 19th century, Reginald
