[0002] The working principle of medical ultrasound examination is similar to that of sonar, that is, ultrasound is transmitted into the human body, and when it encounters an interface in the body, it will be reflected and refracted, and may be absorbed and attenuated in the human tissue. Because the morphology and structure of various tissues in the human body are different, the degree of reflection, refraction and absorption of ultrasound is also different. Doctors distinguish through the wave pattern, curve, or image characteristics reflected by the instrument.
[0003] The probe used in ultrasonic testing uses the piezoelectric effect of the material to achieve the conversion of electrical energy and acoustic energy.
