What Transducers Do
Transducers send and receive sound waves. They also convert echoes into electrical signals. This process forms the image.
Types of Transducers
Types include linear, curvilinear, and phased array. Each is used for specific anatomy. Proper selection supports accuracy.
How Frequency Affects Imaging
Frequency affects resolution and depth. Higher frequencies show more detail but penetrate less. Lower frequencies reach deeper structures.
Caring for Transducers
Caring for transducers helps prevent damage. It also ensures consistent image quality. Proper handling supports safe practice.
