In transthoracic echocardiography, an ultrasound probe is placed on the chest. This transducer sends sound waves which enter and travel through the chest cavity. When these waves meet the heart and other surrounding organs, it is reflected back. These reflected waves are known as echoes.

The echoes will travel back to the same ultrasound transducer where it is received and converted into images of the moving heart.
