Ultrasound transducer. Composite image of a radiologist's hand holding a transducer that is used in ultrasound scanning. The image shows sound waves (not actually visible) emerging from the transducer. 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.
