Which is not a recommended use for ultrasound?

  1. Heart defects

  2. Muscle tears

  3. Bone fractures

  4. Tumors

The correct answer is: Tumors

Using ultrasound to visualize and diagnose heart defects, muscle tears, and bone fractures are all commonly recommended uses due to its ability to produce real-time images of soft tissues. However, ultrasound is not typically used for the detection of solid masses, such as tumors, as it is less effective for imaging dense structures. Other imaging modalities, such as MRI or CT scans, are often preferred for evaluating potential tumors.
