Yes. it’s called a probe.
An ultrasound machine would require an ultrasound transducer. These are required as they are the part of the machine that delivers the image to the machine.

Ultrasound uses mechanical energy in the form of sound waves to create images of tissues in the body. The sound waves are generated by a transducer and transmitted into the body, where they bounce off tissues and produce echoes that are captured and used to create an ultrasound image.
Ultrasound gel is used to improve the transmission of ultrasound waves from the transducer to the skin. It helps to eliminate air gaps between the skin and the transducer, allowing for better image quality and more accurate diagnosis. Additionally, the gel helps to prevent skin irritation or injury that can be caused by direct contact with the transducer.
Ultrasound can be used to clean dirt off item placed in a water bath with a powerful ultrasound transducer clamped to the side of the vessel.
Place the ultrasound transducer on the ventral midline of the abdomen, just cranial to the pubis. This should cover the area where the urinary bladder is located in cats. Adjust the transducer until you obtain a clear image of the bladder.
The ultrasound procedure to image the uterus is called a pelvic ultrasound or transvaginal ultrasound, depending on the method used. A pelvic ultrasound typically involves placing a transducer on the abdomen, while a transvaginal ultrasound involves inserting a specialized transducer into the vagina for a closer view. Both methods help assess the uterus's structure, detect abnormalities, and evaluate conditions such as fibroids or cysts.
A specially designed transducer probe can be placed in the vagina to provide better ultrasound images. This transvaginal or endovaginal scan is particularly useful in early pregnancy or in cases where ectopic pregnancy is suspected.
A transvaginal transducer and Doppler ultrasound uses enhanced sound waves to monitor subtle events. Color imaging is a recent development and 3-dimensional ultrasound is being researched.
An ultrasound technician uses an ultrasound machine to product images of tissues and organs. An ultrasound machine includes transducer probe, a central processing unit, a monitor, a keyboard with control knobs, disk storage devices and a printer.
Four different modes of ultrasound are used in medical imaging: A-mode. This is the simplest type of ultrasound in which a single transducer scans a line through the body.
