Ultrasonography Wiki

Welcome to Ultrasonography online
Hi and welcome! The goal of this wiki is to create an online terminology database and concept system on ultrasonography. Since this is a school project, the termbase will not be exhaustive and you are free to improve the articles or add extra information. It is merely a test to see whether creating a wiki can adequately serve as a terminology tool for future terminology work.
