Instrument that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Also acts as a transmitter and receiver of ultrasound information.
A device activated by some type of received energy that is then converted to a signal suitable for transmission, usually over electrical circuits.
A device that converts one form of energy to another. The telephone is an example. It is used in medical electronics to receive the energy produced by sound or pressure and relay it as an electrical impulse to another transducer, which can either convert the energy back into its original form or produce a record of it on a recording device.
Within the realm of various technological applications, devices known as transducers possess the remarkable ability to convert one form of energy into another. In the field of diagnostic ultrasound, the transducer employed serves diverse frequencies and serves the purpose of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, as well as transforming mechanical energy back into electrical energy. This dynamic interconversion enables the transmission and reception of ultrasound waves for diagnostic purposes.
The device responsible for emitting sound waves into bodily organs to generate ultrasound images.
