Sonographer In The Making

The same technology, two completely different stories. Drag the slider to see how sound waves went from hunting submarines to checking on babies.
Same technology. Different purpose. The sound waves that once hunted submarines now help us watch a heartbeat in the womb.

That is the journey of ultrasound.
