An intracavitary probe is a specialized ultrasound transducer used in general imaging for closer, higher-resolution visualization of internal structures. Inserted into body cavities like the rectum or vagina, it offers superior detail for organs such as the prostate, uterus, and ovaries by minimizing tissue depth and maximizing frequency. This probe is crucial for precise diagnostic imaging, guiding biopsies, and staging certain conditions. Its design enables detailed anatomical assessment, making it an indispensable tool for gynecological, urological, and colorectal ultrasound examinations. Optimize your general imaging practice with advanced intracavitary probe technology.
