Attaching the optional Acoustic Standoff to a trans-
ducer enables acoustic coupling by creating an ap-
propriate gap while still allowing close contact between
the patient's body and the transducer, and is helpful in
adjusting focus when examining small parts and mus-
culoskeletal structures near the surface of the body .
(The standoff amount is approx. 5 mm.)
