Knowledge Point

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.

Annular probe

The principle of using the circular ring array dynamic segmented focusing method in mechanical sector-scan ultrasonic diagnostic equipment is the same as that of linear array dynamic focusing. Applying a proper delay to the electrical signal of each element can achieve focusing at any distance along the central axis, which is similar to the function of an acoustic lens, so it functions as an "electronic focusing lens".

Ultra-wideband probe

On the basis of the wide-band probe, the ultrasonic signal range that the probe receives and transmits is further expanded. The signal of the ultra-wideband probe is completely carried out at the moment of reception, and is fully digitally coded and amplified to ensure that the signal is not distorted and expand the dynamic range of the signal.
