Transducer assembly, ultrasound, diagnostic, extracorporeal, hand-held

Intended purpose

The ultrasonic probe is a held-hand device moved from location to location on the intact surface of a patient's body during imaging applications. It includes single or multiple element transducer assembly configurations that convert electric voltages into an ultrasound beam. It steers, focuses and detects the ultrasound beam and resulting echoes mechanically or electronically. Typically used with coupling gels to ensure adequate contact with the patient.
