Electrosur- gical Units
Electrosurgical units (ESUs) and other devices intentionally introduce radio frequency electromagnetic fields or currents into patients. Because imaging ultrasound frequencies are also in the radio frequency range, ultrasound transducer circuits are susceptible to radio frequency interference. While an ESU is in use, the noise generated severely interferes with the
