  • Convex transducers: These types of transducers are among the accessories that are most commonly paired with ultrasound devices. They have convex heads that can be rolled back and forth across the abdomen.
  • Linear probes: These probes have flat heads, and they can provide clearer readings under certain circumstances.
  • Cardiac probes: These probes are smaller than convex transducers, and they are used to acquire accurate readings of the cardiac activity of adults.
  • Transvaginal probes: These probes are very thin, and they are designed to be inserted into the vagina.
  • Ultrasound gel: This gel is generally applied wherever a probe is used, and it helps probes acquire a clean signal. It can be wiped off easily after use.
