Transducer - The device that transmits the sound waves in an ultrasound.
Transient Tachypnea - Term for temporary fast breathing.
Transverse Lie - Term for when an unborn baby lies crossways in the womb before birth.
Transducer - A device that emits sound waves and transmits the signals to a computer that displays an ultrasound image ...
Transducer - An instrument that is used to transmit and receive sound waves during an ultrasound examination. The transducer is usually pressed against the abdomen, but it may also be inserted into the vagina if necessary.
Transducer -- The ultrasound transducer. The instrument the person performing the ultrasound examination holds.
Transvaginal -- Same as "endovaginal."
Trophoblast -- embryonal tissue that contributes to the formation of the placenta.
The transducer emits inaudible sound waves, which fan out as they travel through your abdomen.
The transducer is long and narrow to fit comfortably inside your vagina. The sonographer will use a cover similar to a condom and will lubricate this with plenty of gel so it slides in easily.
The transducer will be pressed against the skin (abdomen) and moved over the area being studied.
The pressure transducer transmits the pressure generated by uterine contractions in mm Hg. Each small vertical square is 5 mm Hg. Each small horizontal square is 10 seconds. Each large horizontal square is 1 minute

The ultrasound transducer is attached to the abdomen with straps and transmits the fetal heartbeat to a recorder. The fetal heart rate is displayed on a screen and printed onto special paper.
Using a painless transducer, which bounces high frequency sound waves through the mother's abdomen and at the fetus, the doctors are able to receive a visual image created by the echoes.
During the test the transducer probe will be moved around to obtain images of different locations and structures of the fetal heart. Techniques sometimes used to obtain detailed information about the fetal heart include the following: ...
The equipment consists of: - a transducer, which is a small hand-held device that looks like a microphone - a screen to view the images that is like a television or computer monitor.
Almost all ultrasound examinations for this purpose are currently done through the vagina using a vaginal transducer.
The obstetric ultrasound also emits high-frequency sound waves from a transducer which is placed in contact with the pregnant belly, and is moved to “look at' (like a light shone from a flashlight) the content of the uterus.
5-Mhz curved linear-array transducer. The high-pass filter was set at 100 Hz. All measurements were performed with the mothers in a semirecumbent position and when there were no fetal gross body or chest movements.
Gel is applied to the mother's abdomen to act as a medium for the ultrasound transducer.
The ultrasound transducer is attached to the abdomen with straps and transmits the fetal heartbeat to a recorder.
A transducer (a small microphone-like device) is gently pressed on your belly or inserted into your vagina -- the method depends on how far along you are and what type of equipment is on hand.
A transducer sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard.
The external monitor uses transducers secured to the mother's abdomen by an elastic belt. One transducer records the baby's heart rate by a sensitive microphone called a doppler.
The technician uses a hand-held ultrasound probe (or 'transducer') to generate and receive high frequency sound waves that cannot be heard by the human ear. Hundreds of sound waves are emitted from the transducer during each scan.
During the test, a small handheld instrument called a transducer is used to direct sound waves toward the body. A computer analyzes the sound waves that are reflected back from structures inside the body and converts them into an image.
The ultrasound probe, or transducer, goes either on the mother's abdomen or, less frequently, inside her vagina. The transducer transmits high-frequency sound waves that echo back and are transformed into a picture on a video screen.
A gel is spread on the stomach, and a transducer is slid across the stomach through the gel. The transducer sends information to a monitor, where the doctor can view the fetus. Transvaginal ultrasounds use a transducer placed in the vagina.
This is done with an ultrasound transducer specially shaped to fit inside the vagina. This measurement may be repeated during your pregnancy if there are any concerns about preterm labor or an incompetent cervix.
"We had a 15 minute strip done when we got to the hospital, then every hour a nurse would hold the transducer on for a minute to hear the heart rate. It was really nice because I didn't have to change positions, and I really only wanted to stand up.
The transducer or probe sends out high frequency sound waves which are sent into the body.
An instrument like a microphone (called a transducer) is then pushed against the skin. Sound waves pass from the transducer into the uterus and through the fluid around the baby. The sound waves bounce harmlessly off the baby, creating echoes.
You'll see a sonographer, who'll gently move an instrument called a transducer over your tummy.
The health care provider rubs a hand-held device (called a transducer) across the pregnant woman's belly or inserts a device into her vagina. The woman feels pressure as the provider moves the transducer, but usually no pain.
During the test, a small handheld device called a transducer is passed over your belly. If ultrasound is done before the 11th week of pregnancy, a transducer shaped to fit inside your vagina may be used.
The continuous monitoring of the baby during labour, either through transducers which are attached by belts to the mother's abdomen, or by a scalp electrode which is inserted through the mother's vagina and attached to the baby's scalp.

Ultrasound during pregnancy may be done by two ways - transabdominal and transvaginal. In the former, the instrument called a transducer is passed over the abdomen, while in the latter, the transducer is placed inside the vagina.
While you're lying down, the operator (usually a sonographer or radiographer) spreads gel over your tummy and rolls a hand-held transducer across the area. The images are transmitted to a screen.
Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels - with a vaginal transducer, especially in early pregnancy, or with an abdominal transducer in later pregnancy.
A prenatal ultrasound test uses high-frequency sound waves, inaudible to the human ear, that are transmitted through the abdomen via a device called a transducer to look at the inside of the abdomen.
Then he or she gently moves a hand-held device called a transducer over your belly. Images of the baby are displayed on a monitor. The doctor can look for and measure the thickness at the back of the baby's neck.
During the test, a special gel is applied to the woman's abdomen and a transducer is then placed on the belly so that sound waves can be conducted directly into the uterus.
The diagnosis can be confirmed with tests, including esophagus tests (such as esophageal manometry) or a barium swallow. Esophageal manometry uses a small tube attached to instruments (transducers) that measure pressure.
Maximal transparent mode with a transvaginal transducer provided accurate diagnosis of skeletal dysplasia in the first trimester.
