Elizabeth Ayers is presenting on Medical Ultrasound via a video conference, holding an ultrasound transducer while gesturing with her free hand. A slide in the background illustrates the internal components of a transducer, like the piezoelectric elements, and shows four types of transducers (Linear, Micro-convex, Convex, and Phased array) with their respective frequency ranges and depths of penetration.

Differentiate between diagnostic medical imaging devices, such as X-ray and its subdivisions (mammography, fluoroscopy, Computed Tomography [CT]), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine.
