Fundamentals of Ultrasound: Composition of Ultrasound Equipment
The clinical application of ultrasound is becoming increasingly widespread. As an imaging tool, the correct use of ultrasound equipment is the prerequisite for obtaining ideal images. Prior to this, it is necessary to briefly understand the composition of ultrasound equipment.
Composition of ultrasonic equipment
The basic components of the ultrasonic diagnostic system include: the transmitter and receiver unit, the digital code converter, the keyboard, the panel switch assembly, the ultrasonic probe, the monitor, the imaging component, and the power supply unit.
An ultrasound system typically consists of the following components:
1. Display: Provides high-definition imaging;
2. Control panel: The main control center that displays detailed operational instructions;
3. Transducer: Responsible for transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals;
4. Main unit: Processes, displays, stores, and transmits signals received from the transducer; 5. External peripherals: Including printers, external monitors, and foot pedals.
Below are several common types of ultrasound instruments listed for reference.
