5. Ensure that wrinkles and bubbles over the face of the transducer are mini-
mized. Check the transducer cover for tears or damage before proceeding.
6. When operating the transducer, make sure that proper orientation is main-
tained to avoid interpretation confusion.
NOTES
• To achieve good acoustic contact, make sure that the imaging surface is moist.
• Imaging improves with adequate coupling between the patient surface and the
transducer cover surface. Sterile water works as a good acoustic coupling
agent during surgery.
