"From the first time I saw ultrasound used I was captivated! It amazed me to see the human body in such intricate detail; from beating hearts to real-time observations of physiologic movements and organs. Everything is affected by such small actions, like breathing or stretching. It continues to keep me in awe of such a wonderful design - God's handiwork.”
