Study Notes
Ultrasound Machine Components
- The transducer sends sound waves and receives their echoes in an ultrasound machine.
Ultrasound Transducer Types
- A convex transducer has a convex beam shape, making it suitable for in-depth examinations.
Ultrasound vs. X-ray
- The main difference between an X-ray machine and an ultrasound machine is the type of energy used: X-rays use ionizing radiation, while ultrasound machines use high-frequency sound waves.
Ultrasound Machine Functionality
- The computer in an ultrasound machine processes the received echoes, generating images and performing necessary calculations.
Ultrasound Transducer Characteristics
- The footprint, frequency, and applications of an ultrasound transducer are determined by factors such as the transducer's size, shape, and material.
