Ultrasound probes, also called transducers, are devices that emit and receive high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal body structures. They come in various shapes and sizes, with common types including linear for superficial structures like thyroids and breasts, curvilinear (or convex) for deeper imaging like abdominal organs, and phased array for applications requiring a narrow field of view, such as cardiac imaging.
