Collection: Small Parts / Superficial Ultrasound

Small parts (or superficial) ultrasound is used to image structures close to the skin surface in high detail — commonly the thyroid, breast, testicles, and soft tissue or musculoskeletal structures.

Small parts imaging typically uses a high-frequency linear array probe, which provides the fine resolution needed for superficial structures, at the cost of imaging depth compared to lower-frequency probes.

Yes — most general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound systems can perform small parts imaging with the right high-frequency linear probe attached. Contact our team to confirm probe compatibility with your system.
