A transducer converts one form of energy into another. There is not one type of transducer sonographers use to scan. As sonographers we have to learn which transducer does what and how we can utilize it to achieve optimal scans. In these videos I will be going over types of transducers and what we use them for.

I will be going over the seven components of what makes up a transducer and how these all work together.

What is 2-D Imaging?

nataliebueno99_ — 2023-11-21 06:13:12 UTC

It is the use of multiple pulses going down a scan line to create an image on the ultrasound system screen.

Characteristics:

nataliebueno99_ — 2023-11-21 11:52:44 UTC

Effect of image- loss of entire image

Image shape- sector or fan

Steering technique- Mechanical

Focusing technique- Fixed ( the only fixed transducer)

Difference between mechanical and transducer

nataliebueno99_ — 2023-11-21 12:05:06 UTC

Mechanical transducers are known as simple transducers with one single active element. On the other hand transducer arrays contain multiple active elements.

Characteristics

nataliebueno99_ — 2023-11-21 12:13:00 UTC

Shape and arrangement- Active elements are arranged in a straight line and sector or fan shaped image.

Steering technique- sector

Focusing technique- Electronic

Effect of image- The image loss is a variable, this is due to the inconsistent steering and focusing .

Characteristics

nataliebueno99_ — 2023-11-21 12:27:48 UTC

Arrangement and shape- Elements are arranged as circular rings within one center of the probe. The shape is Sector.

Effect on image- A horizontal dropout.

Steering technique- The only other probe that is mechanically steered.

Focusing Technique- Electronic

Characteristics

nataliebueno99_ — 2023-11-21 12:40:16 UTC

Arrangement and shape- Arranged in a bowed line and the shape is a blunted sector.

Steering technique- Electronic

Focusing technique- Electronic

Effects on image- Dropout image is vertical, the location of the line corresponds to the broken crystal.

Characteristics

nataliebueno99_ — 2023-11-21 13:12:19 UTC

Image shape- Rectangular due to larger footprint of the transducer face.

Steering technique- Electronic

Focusing technique- Electronic

Effect of image- Dropout will be vertical.

Characteristics

nataliebueno99_ — 2023-11-21 13:20:16 UTC

Image shape- Trapezoidal

Steering technique- electronic

focusing technique- electronic
