HI Emily!
I like that you gave a brief introduction on how ultrasound works, to help understand it if you haven’t heard about it or if you were wonder on how it works. A good job on letting us know what the different components the ultrasound machine has. I like how you gave a chart that shows how the different components of the ultrasound machine flow. I also like how you went more in depth on the receiver since that was a harder component for me to understand. After hearing about the different functions of the receiver, I now understand them better and which one is done by the receiver and which one is done by the sonographer. Nice little tip of information of how many shades of grey the machine shows and how much we as a sonographer sees. Good job!
