An ultrasound element is a single slab of piezoelectric crystal that is cut into a linear collection of separate pieces. The separate pieces are called elements. Each element is wired separately to the transducer and they are fired in groups that are coordinated by a microprocessor. The elements are electrically configured to control the direction and characteristics of the sound beam.
