Probe Technology Tutor

Interactive learning aid

The ultrasound probe is a vital element of every ultrasound machine. Probes generate sound waves and receive echoes to create images of the human body through a very intricate and sophisticated construction of electronic components. It can be a challenging task to explain the complexity of ultrasound probe physics and construction. Ambassador Medical has developed an interactive learning aid with a lecture presentation to help instructors provide sonography students a more comprehensive understanding of the composition and inner workings of ultrasound probes. The Probe Technology Tutor is a hands-on tool with removable components that enables in-depth examination and study. This interactive learning aid and lecture presentation can help teach ultrasound physics, probe construction and engineering details. The Probe Technology Tutor can be an excellent complement to classroom instruction and assist students in their preparation for the Sonography Principles Instrumentation Examination.
