The array of elements of microconvex probe is curved with a certain radius. Microconvex probes have a much smaller contact surface, which improves the coupling between the transducer and the skin surface even in complicated areas as the supraclavicular or jugular fossa. Microconvex probes, with large aperture and selection of transmission frequencies are also used in gynecological diagnostic.

A rectal probe is a small ultrasound transducer with high frequency that is inserted directly into the rectum. Transrectal ultrasound is a well established examination for rectal or prostate carcinoma assessment. Rectal probes (e.g., a microconvex probe) generate a much sharper image, caused by the close proximity to the prostate or rectum, and the higher sensitivity.
