Ultrasound waves are preferred for echocardiography due to their non-invasive nature and ability to produce real-time images of the heart without exposing the patient to ionizing radiation. Additionally, ultrasound allows for dynamic assessment of cardiac function and provides valuable diagnostic information.
Why are ultrasound waves preferred over other imaging techniques for echocardiography?

Ultrasound waves are preferred for echocardiography due to their safety, real-time imaging capabilities, portability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. They offer non-invasive imaging without ionizing radiation, provide dynamic assessment of cardiac function, enable bedside examinations, are more affordable, and can comprehensively evaluate cardiac anatomy, blood flow, and function, making them indispensable for diagnosing and managing cardiac conditions.
