Introduction to Ultrasound Transducers

Ultrasound transducers are essentially sophisticated antennas for sound waves. They're critical because they perform two main functions:
1. Transmission: They convert electrical energy into high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) that penetrate the body.
2. Reception: They capture the reflected sound waves (echoes) and convert them back into electrical signals for the ultrasound machine to process into an image.
