Ultrasound transducer being held in a radiologist's hand. This device, controlled by a computer (keyboard in background), is used in ultrasound scanning. Ultrasound scanning is a diagnostic technique where ultrasound waves (high-frequency sound waves) from a transducer are reflected by body tissues. These echoes are detected by the transducer and used to build an image of structures inside the body.
