1.2 Principlesofoperation
Thisprobeandtheultrasounddiagnosticscannerenableimagediagnosisusingultrasonic
waves.Thissystemoperatesundertheprinciplesdescribedbelow.
1) Whenanelectricpulsesignalisappliedfromthetransmittertothetransducerofthe
probe,thetransducerconvertselectricsignalsintomechanicalvibrationenergyfor
emittingpulse‐shapedultrasonicwavesintothebodypart,liquidorothermedium
contactingthetransducer.
2) Theemittedultrasonicwavesarereflectedbyboundarieswithdifferentacoustic
characteristics(acousticimpedance)withinthebody.
3) Thetransducerisalsousedtoreceivereflectedultrasonicwaves.Thetransducer
vibratesmechanicallyduetothereceivedultrasonicwavesandconvertsmechanical
vibrationsintoelectricenergy.Electricsignalsareconvertedtoshadesofbrightnessby
