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.
