Transducers are the instruments that are used by the sonographers to convert the electrical current into the sound waves. Sound waves will in turn bounce the tissues and organs in human body and will reflect back to transducer. Transducer will send the reflected wave back to the computer that transforms electrical signals to the images or patterns. The image will be displayed on the monitor and it is recorded on the stores or films as the digital computer image. X-ray is not used in the sonography process and is ultimately painless and safe.
