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
