Transducers

In the forefront of fundamental material research and cable design, Hitachi earned a place in history by introducing the first curved linear array.

Today, Hitachi manufactures a vast range of convex, linear, phased and micro-convex arrays, 360° radial array and 256 element technology wideband transducers. They provide unparallelled versatility to all applications, from abdominal, obstetrics and gynecology, through to superficial, vascular and cardiac. Highly specialised transducers support endoscopic, biopsy, endorectal, laparoscopic, intra-operative, and intraluminal investigations.

The transducers are produced using the latest multilayer composite materials with wide bandwidths, enabling multiple selectable frequencies for native B-mode, tissue harmonics, colour and pulsed wave Doppler. Ergonomic design, light-weight housing materials along with cable flexibility and length minimise the strain on the hand and wrist.
