ultrasound transducers

An ultrasound transducer is a device that sends out high-frequency sound waves into the body and then detects the echoes that bounce back. These sound waves create images of internal organs, tissues, and blood flow, aiding in medical diagnosis. The transducer's piezoelectric crystals convert electrical energy into sound waves and vice versa. Different transducers are designed for specific purposes, such as imaging the abdomen, heart, or blood vessels. The quality of the images depends on the transducer's frequency and design, allowing healthcare professionals to visualize internal structures safely and non-invasively.
