ULTRASOUND THERAPY
WHAT IS ULTRASOUND THERAPY
Direct Reverse
Piezoelectric Effect Piezoelectric effect
US
REVERSE PIEZO ELECTRIC
EFFECT
Application of electricity or P.D across the
crystal produces oscillations or
deformations or pressure changes in the
crystal .
So ultrasound point of view Reverse Piezo
Electric effect is the basic principle which
is used in the production of ultrasound .
CONSTRUCTION OF ULTRASOUND
CONSTRUCTION OF ULTRASOUND
The ultrasound generator consists of oscillator
circuit , controlling circuit , resistance circuit , co-
axial cable , transducer .
Transducer consists of link electrode , quartz
crystal , metal front plate .
Oscillator circuit produces high frequency
alternating current .
Resistance circuit controls the amplitude of the
ultrasound waves by controlling the amplitude of
the high frequency currents .
