Ultrasonic waves travel through the tissues of the body during an ultrasonography procedure, penetrating the skin and other layers until they encounter internal organs. When these waves encounter a boundary between tissues with different densities, they reflect back to the ultrasound transducer.
Can you describe how ultrasonic waves travel through the human body during an ultrasonography procedure?

During an ultrasonography procedure, ultrasonic waves are emitted from a transducer placed on the skin. These waves travel through the body, penetrating tissues and organs. When they encounter boundaries between different tissues or structures, they reflect back to the transducer, producing echoes that are used to generate images.
