Longitudinal describes a position parallel to the long axis of the body and along the path of the ultrasound beam.

A longitudinal wave is a waveform in which the particle motion is parallel to the direction of the wave travel. Sound propagates as longitudinal waves. A series of longitudinal waves make up the ultrasound beam.
A longitudinal wave is produced when a piezoelectric ceramic in an ultrasound transducer, transmits it's back and forth oscillation into a continuous, elastic medium. The particles of the medium are made to oscillate in the direction of the wave propagation, but are otherwise stationary.
