The phased array probe is a versatile ultrasound transducer commonly used in general imaging, particularly for cardiac and abdominal scans. Its unique design allows for electronic steering and focusing of the ultrasound beam, offering excellent penetration and a wide field of view in the far field. This capability makes it ideal for imaging deep structures and navigating narrow acoustic windows, providing high-resolution images. Understanding the “phased array transducer” and its “general imaging applications” is crucial for diagnostic accuracy.
