In general imaging, a microconvex probe is a small, curved array transducer with a compact footprint, ideal for scanning small areas and achieving deeper penetration than linear probes. Its broader field of view compared to linear probes makes it valuable for abdominal and pediatric imaging, offering excellent resolution for superficial structures while maintaining adequate depth. This versatile ultrasound probe facilitates clear, high-quality images in various general imaging applications, enhancing diagnostic accuracy for medical professionals.
