Le gel d'échographie joue un rôle crucial dans la qualité des images d'échographie obtenues. Il élimine les poches d'air qui pourraient se former entre la sonde et la peau, car ces poches d'air peuvent réfléchir les ondes ultrasonores et gêner la qualité de l'image. 3, record 1, French, - gel%20%C3%A0%20ultrasons
