Ultrasonic waves are directed at the kidney stones, causing them to break down into smaller fragments or grains. These fragments are then expelled from the body through the urinary system, typically getting flushed out with urine.

Ultrasonography may be employed to break down small kidney stones into fine grains, a process known as lithotripsy. These fine grains can then be easily flushed out of the body through urine, aiding in the treatment of kidney stones.

Ultrasonography is used for examining the fetus during pregnancy to detect congenital defects and growth abnormalities, providing crucial information for monitoring fetal development and ensuring timely intervention if necessary.

The images generated through ultrasonography can be viewed in real-time on a monitor or printed on film for further analysis and documentation.

Ultrasound waves are converted into electrical signals, which are then utilized to produce images of organs through a technique known as ultrasonography.
