PROBE FREQUENCIES AND APPLICATIONS
- Applications of the ultrasound probes are categorized based on their center frequency.
- Probes with higher frequencies have shorter wave length and are attenuated easily.
- For high penetration the frequency must be less.
- Higher frequency probes are used for scanning of superficial body structure.
- Lower frequency probes are used for scanning of deeper body parts.
PROBE FREQUENCY AND APPLICATIONS

Hi.
ReplyDeleteCan you send me firmware for ML6-15-D?
I've got this probe, but it has 24LC32 malfunction((
