Knowledge Point
What is an Ultrasound Probe?
An ultrasound probe, also known as a transducer, is a medical
diagnostic device that emits ultrasound waves into a patient's body
and transmits data to a computer to produce an internal image of
the body, known as a sonogram. Ultrasound waves bounce off of
tissue masses and boundaries in the body, and these echoes are
recorded by the ultrasound probe and interpreted by the computer,
which then creates the sonogram on a monitor. The ultrasound probe
is generally placed directly on the patient's body and moved over
the area to be viewed. Since water is a good conductor for sound
waves, a water-based gel is usually placed on the patient's skin to
help facilitate movement of the ultrasound waves, and patients
undergoing obstetric ultrasound are usually asked to arrive for the
test with a full bladder.
What is an ultrasound transducer and what does it do?
An ultrasound transducer, also called a probe, is a device that
produces sound waves that bounce off body tissues and make echoes.
The transducer also receives the echoes and sends them to a
computer that uses them to create an image called sonogram.
Moreover, the essential element of each ultrasound transducer is a
piezoelectric crystal. It serves to generate as well as receive
ultrasound waves.
The main components of a typical ultrasound transducer consist of:
1. Lens
2. Strain Relief
3. Cyrstal
4. Cable
5. Connector Housing
Basic Ultrasound Transducer Types:
1. Linear Transducers
2. Convex or curved array Transducers
3. Phased Array Transducers
4. Sector Transducers
5. Endocavity Transducers
6. 3d/4d Transducers
7. Tee Transducers
