Transducer assembly, ultrasound, diagnostic, intracorporeal, rectal

Intended purpose

An ultrasound imaging transducer assembly specifically designed to be positioned within the rectum either manually or under endoscopic guidance. Included is a variety of 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 either mechanically or electronically. Also known as a rectal, transrectal, or prostate probe, it may incorporate a biopsy needle guidance channel as part of the transducer casing or housing assembly design. This is a reusable device.
