12 Intraoperative Transducers
An intraoperative transducer is used during surgery to help the surgeon locate
and visualize anatomical structures, to visualize blood flow patterns and quantify
velocities, and to image and measure anatomical and physiological parameters of
interest to the surgeon.
This section shows you how to prepare the L15-7io and S12-4 transducers for
use in intraoperative applications.
Operator
Philips intraoperative transducers are designed for use under the guidance of phy-
sicians who are properly trained in intraoperative ultrasound imaging techniques,
according to currently approved relevant medical practices. Philips recommends
that physicians operating any Philips intraoperative transducer are
• Proficient in recognizing and interpreting imaging patterns
• Thoroughly familiar with the safe operation, care, and maintenance of the
ultrasound system and intraoperative transducers
• Fully informed about the latest intraoperative methods through literature and
seminars
