ultrasonic waves are passed into it.
In the electrocardiography process, the ultrasonic waves are used to form an image of
the heart using reflection and detection of these waves from various parts.
Ultrasonic waves are used to break stones in the kidney. High energy sound waves are
passed through the body without injuring it and break the stone into small pieces. These
small pieces move through the urinary tract and out of the body more easily than a large
stone.
