Probes and Biopsy 13-5
13.1.1 Probe Functions by Part
The basic structures and corresponding functions of probes are basically the same. The following
takes probe L14-6Ns as an example.
Converts the electrical signal to an ultrasonic signal,
focusing the sound beams in a given direction while it
receives the reflected ultrasonic signal and converts it to an
electrical signal for transmission over the cable. The lens on
the surface is the acoustic lens. Apply ultrasound gel to the
acoustic lens for correct operation.
Needle-guided bracket
fixing tabs and grooves
Provides mounting support for the needle-guided bracket.
Transmits electrical signals between the probe body and
connector.
Connects the probe and cable to the ultrasound diagnostic
system.
Tip:
The probes’ structure, marked <2> in the figure above, may vary depending on the corresponding
needle-guided brackets.
