echograms
Ultrasound visual recordings
Echograms are visual records produced by echolocation or echo-sounding equipment, showing the pattern of reflected sound waves.
In medical contexts, an echogram displays ultrasound images of internal body structures: The echogram revealed the baby's heartbeat.
In oceanography, echograms map the seafloor or detect fish schools by recording sonar returns.
