An ultrasound scanner is designed to produce images of internal body structures by emitting high-frequency sound waves into the body and capturing the echoes that bounce back. These echoes are then processed to generate real-time images of organs and tissues.

The primary function of an ultrasound scanner is to generate images of internal body structures using ultrasound waves. It operates by emitting high-frequency sound waves into the body through a transducer. These waves penetrate tissues and bounce back as echoes when they encounter boundaries between different tissues. The echoes are then detected, processed, and converted into real-time images displayed on a monitor.
