Answer 1

Ultrasound technology is commonly used for a variety of medical imaging purposes, particularly in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as in detecting certain conditions related to the kidneys and other organs.

Given the patients and their respective issues:

- Josh: Sprained finger - Ultrasound is typically not used for this issue.
- Ashley: Pregnant with an underdeveloped fetus - Ultrasound is commonly used in pregnancy to monitor fetal development.
- Ron: Kidney stones - Ultrasound can be used to detect kidney stones and assess their size and location.
- Lindsay: Cancer in the tissues lining the uterus - Ultrasound can be used to evaluate uterine conditions, and for diagnosing cancer.

Based on this information, the patients best helped using ultrasound technology would be Ashley, Ron, and Lindsay.

Therefore, the best choice is: **Ashley, Ron, and Lindsay.**
