I did a bit of reading today on partial reflection when using ultrasound. I was reading about a pregnancy gel that is applied to the womans stomach when detecting a baby. To put it briefly, if the ultrasound transmitter is held away from the body a lot of energy is reflected, and this is also the case when the transmitter is directly on the surface of the skin. I read that a gel is applied to the stomach of a pregnant woman to try and eliminate any reflection. My question is, what does this Gel have in it, or what is it effect on the ultrasound? I do not understand how a Gel can eliminate most of the reflection.
