Select the type of transducer that enables multi-focusing while being steered mechanically.

  1. Annular phased array

  2. Mechanical

  3. Linear sequential array

  4. Convex sequential array

The correct answer is: Annular phased array

An annular phased array transducer is the correct choice for this question because it is able to enable multi-focusing while being steered mechanically. This type of transducer uses multiple concentric rings of elements that can be electronically focused at different depths, allowing for improved image quality and resolution. On the other hand, the other options described different types of transducers that do not specifically enable multi-focusing while being steered mechanically.
