Probes and Imaging Modes
摘要
There are various types of ultrasound probes. The specific probe should be chosen to best characterize the structure of interest. Superficial structures are best seen with a high-frequency, linear probe. Deep structures are best captured by a low-frequency curvilinear probe or a phased-array probe. Commonly used imaging modes include B mode and M mode. Doppler imaging is used to measure velocities of blood flow and moving tissue.
