Thank You Kiwanis Club of Lakeshore!
Four different types of pediatric transducers were purchased thanks to the generous donation of over $34,000 from the Kiwanis Club of Lakeshore.
- Pediatric curvilinear transducer
- Pediatric hip linear transducer
- Pediatric echo transducer
- Pediatric neonate echo transducer
Transducers produce pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves. Sensitive to the fact that their bodies are still developing and growing the ultrasound equipment used for pediatric patients is different than the technology used for adults.
