Imaging Plane
The transducer contains two convex arrays — one for transverse (T) imaging, and one
for sagittal (S) imaging (see Figure 2). The advantage of being able to view two planes
simultaneously with one transducer is that the true position of the needle can be seen
during puncture and biopsy and a suspicious lesion can be viewed in both planes.
