No. Item Description
1. Probe head Converts the electrical signal into an ultrasonic signal,
focusing the sound beams in a given direction; meanwhile, it
receives the reflected ultrasonic signal and converts it into an
electrical signal for transmission over the cable. The lens on
the surface is the acoustic lens. Apply ultrasound gel on the
acoustic lens for correct operation.
2. Needle-guided
bracket fix tabs and
grooves
Provides mounting support of the needle-guided bracket.
NOTE:
This structure of probes in the figure above may vary with
the matched needle-guided brackets.
3. Probe cable Transmits electrical signals between the probe body and
connector.
4. Probe connector Connects the probe and cable to the ultrasonic diagnostic
system.
