A New Wave in Prostate Cancer Care: Unpacking the Promise of Targeted Microwave Ablation
Welcome to the foundational series on ultrasound! Whether you're a medical student, a new resident, or a clinician incorporating Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) into your practice, this guide will walk you through the essentials.
The ultrasound probe, or transducer, is essentially the "eyes" and "ears" of the ultrasound machine, responsible for transmitting sound waves and receiving the echoes to create an image. This article breaks down the six core internal components—from the piezoelectric element that converts electricity into sound, to the matching layer and backing material that enhance image clarity—and explains how they work together to ensure efficient and accurate ultrasonic imaging.
Each probe is a masterfully designed tool, purpose-built for a specific task. The next time you see an ultrasound in action, take a look at the probe.
The ultrasound probe, also known as the transducer, is the hand-held device that makes contact with the patient's body.
