This article describes all the main types of ultrasonic probes for modern ultrasound machines. For all types of probes, the main parameters and characteristics, description, and applications are indicated. Consider the main (typical) malfunctions and breakdowns of each type and repair of ultrasound probes.
The main types of ultrasound probes:
convex probe
Microconvex sensor
Linear sensor
Sector sensor
Phased sector sensor
Intracavitary transducer (transrectal/anal, transvaginal, transurethral)
biplane sensor
3D / 4D (Live-3D) sensor
Matrix volumetric sensor
Pencil Doppler Probe
Transesophageal TEE transducer
Video endoscopic sensor
biopsy probes
Catheter (intraoperative) sensor
Intravascular sensor
Laparoscopic probes
Single crystal probes
Mechanical probes
Ophthalmic probes
transcranial sensor
Otolaryngological probes
Veterinary probes
Important Features of the Ultrasound Probe
Each type of sensor of a modern ultrasound machine has a number of characteristics:
Frequency [MHz] (main operating frequency / frequency set for multi-frequency sensor)
Radius of curvature of the scanning module [mm] (for convex and micro convex probes)
Length (dimensions) of the scanning module [mm] for linear, sectorial and some other probes
Angle of view [degrees]
Depth [mm], penetration
Compatible with Biopsy Kits
List of compatible (supported) models of ultrasound machines
Applications, modes and types of ultrasound studies (compatible sets of settings in the software of the ultrasound machine)
Dimensions [mm]
Manufacturer
Convex Ultrasound Probe
Frequency: 2-7.5MHz
Penetration depth: up to 25 cm
You can also find the name abdominal sensor (due to the main area of \u200b\u200bits application)
The frequency of sensors of this type usually varies from 2 to 7.5 MHz, and in some devices the frequencies of the sensor may be higher. Many sensor models can work with the so-called harmonics, which makes visualization better in many types of research.
The penetration depth of sensors of this type is about 25 cm, which is quite sufficient for all areas of its application. The display dimensions of the organ under study are several centimeters wider than the sensor itself. those. convex sensors have a relatively wide field of view.
Ultrasonic sensors of this type are used to study deep-seated objects: abdominal studies (general studies of the abdominal cavity), hip joints, reproductive system, etc. That is, convex sensors are used both in general practice, in obstetrics and gynecology, and in other areas.
The convex probe is supplied with most modern ultrasound machines. it, of course, may be absent in some cases, but in general it is almost impossible to imagine a multi-purpose ultrasound scanner of a wide profile without an abdominal convex probe.
Xity is ready for inquiry of any type or probes!
