13.1.1 Probe Functions by Part
The basic structures and corresponding functions of probes are basically the same; take the following
probe as an example.
<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.
