Glossary:
Transducer The element of the ultrasound system that the sonographer places on the patient. Sometimes
called a probe. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves into the patient and receives
their echoes. The ultrasound system controls the transmitting and receiving of the ultrasound
waves according to imaging parameters set by the sonographer. The ultrasound system
processes the received echoes to construct the displayed images, also in accordance with the
imaging parameters set by the sonographer.
Transducer icon A graphic symbol that represents the ultrasonic transducer. This symbol indicates the scan plane
by placing it in the proper position and orientation to a body mark icon.
Ultrasound system Any system that can perform diagnostic sonography, which is medical cross-sectional anatomic
and flow imaging using pulse-echo sound waves that are greater than 20 kHz (above the range of
human hearing).
