The parasternal short-axis view is a cross-sectional view of the heart and can be obtained through echocardiography. The short axis view is also known as the plane perpendicular view of the long axis of the heart. Here the transducer is the real game, placing the transducer just right gives the view required, in this case,

Ultrasound is the process of using high-frequency sound waves to develop images of the inner parts of the body. Ultrasound uses sound frequencies ranging from 2 to 15 MHz and sometimes higher frequencies. Ultrasound is done using a transducer that converts one energy into another, electrical pulses to sound waves. It is a non-invasive procedure

Electrosonography is also called sonography, it uses computer-based vibrations transducer technology that is quick and non-invasive and records joint sounds and vibrations originating in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). In simpler words, Electrosonography is listening to the sounds in the joints through graphs. Electrosonography measures intracapsular TMJoint sounds, duration of the sound, the exact location of
