Probes and Biopsy 13-3
No. Name Function
<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.
<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.
Tips:
The probes’ structure marked <2> in the figure above may vary with the matched needle-guided
brackets.
13.1.2 Orientation of the Ultrasound Image and the Probe
Head
The orientation of the ultrasound image and the probe are shown as below. The “Mark” side of the
ultrasound image on the monitor corresponds to the mark side of the probe. Check the orientation
before the examination (Using a linear probe as an example).
