                          CARDIAC PHASED ARRAY PROBE IMAGE DEGRADATION






                          • Crystals are grouped closely together.
                          • Sound waves originates from a single point and fan outward,creating a sector-type Image.

                          • Currently used for cardiac Imaging,Imaging between ribs and small spaces.


                          The issue is almost certainly caused by a significant knock to the head of the probe as can be seen in the image below.



                          Now if we compare a good ultrasound image from the same phantom on the same ultrasound system. Firstly the good image, you can see how clear the phantom dots throughout the image are:



                          Now comparing with an image taken from the faulty probe:



                          With such gradual deterioration, it is sometimes difficult to recognize the problem as it just gets more and more difficult to scan patients.

                          WHEN WE NEED TO REPAIR THE PROBE ???? Many of the probe damages are repairable at initial state. But in many cases the Practitio...
