DESCRIPTION:Join Sonography Club to celebrate Diagnostic Medical Sonography
  Awareness Month! \n\nToday\, we often head out to hospitals for ultrasoun
 ds when we suspect pregnancy or aim to detect a cyst. However\, the facili
 ty we have today was formulated after years of research and experimentatio
 n. Can you believe the first written document discussing the use of these 
 waves involves navigating flying bats? The experiment took place in 1794 b
 y Italian physicist Lazaro Spallanzani.\n\nThen came the mission of produc
 ing sound waves of high frequencies. Galton in 1880\, managed to produce s
 ound waves of a 40-hertz frequency. That very year\, the brothers Jacques 
 and Pierre Curie realized that electricity could be created in a crystal o
 f quartz. This experimentation elevated to the next step during WWI when t
 he French government began innovating high-frequency sound waves to find G
 erman submarines. These studies were used by the U.S. Navy to develop SONA
 R (Sound Navigation And Ranging).\n\nUltrasound was still being used on wa
 ves and the utilization of the machine for healthcare was a non-existent i
 dea. In 1928\, a Soviet physicist pitched the idea of using ultrasound on 
 metal structures. From there on\, efforts were made to redefine the uses o
 f the ultrasound machine. From 1947 to 1948\, a technique where ultrasound
  was used to visualize the cerebral ventricles\, was introduced to visuali
 ze the cerebral ventricles. Known as ‘hyper phonography\,’ the techniq
 ue was introduced by Karl Dussik\, an Austrian physician\, and his brother
  Frederick. However\, the real breakthrough was made when George Ludwig ca
 rried out research into gallstones embedded in soft tissues in 1949. He wa
 s working at the Naval Military Research Institute\, in the United States.
