3.2.3. Transducers
Figure 3.4 is an illustration of an image/treat transducer. The transducer can image and treat a
region of tissue up to 25 mm long and can image a depth of up to 8 millimeters. Treatment
occurs along a line less than or equal to the transducer’s active length, which is indicated by
guides on the sides of the transducer, as described in
Table 3.3. An additional guide at the front tip of the transducer represents the
center of the treatment line. In therapy mode, bursts of sound energy create
a linear sequence of individual, discrete, thermal coagulation points (TCPs).
A label atop the transducer provides the transducer type, expiration date,
and other information.
