Abstract
With technologic advances, ultrasound progressed from a large, cumbers ome machine producing suboptimal images, to a portable, user-friendly and sophisticated instrument. Such evolution has required years of res earch and the marriage of physics, physiology, medicine, engineering, and government. This article recounts the major developments in the ev olution of ultrasound and highlights some notable contributions made b y pioneers in this field.
