What is a function of the receiver?

It changes and displays the signal sent from the transducer to the monitor
It controls the collaboration of the synergy of the ultrasound components
It shapes the ultrasound beam
It stores images and video clips

The correct answer is: It changes and displays the signal sent from the transducer to the monitor

A function of the receiver is to change and display the signal that is sent from the transducer to the monitor. This signal is converted from sound waves to an image on the monitor, allowing the user to view and interpret the images. Option B is incorrect because the receiver does not control the collaboration or synergy of the ultrasound components; this is done by the system software. Option C is incorrect because shaping the ultrasound beam is the function of the transducer, not the receiver. Option D is incorrect because storing images and video clips is the function of the image storage system, not the receiver.
