An ultrasound tech is trying to identify an object, but the screen of the machine is broken. Which statement best describes this situation?

The ultrasound machine sends sound waves into the body and receives echoes that it processes into an image. A broken screen affects only the display, not the generation or reception of sound waves or the processing of echoes. Therefore, the machine can process the echoes into images, but they cannot be displayed on the broken screen.
