ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, an ultrasonic transducer probe is provided having an array of ultrasonic transducers rotatably mounted about an axis within the ultrasonic transducer probe, a lens mounted to the array, and a housing encasing the array and the lens. The lens is symmetric about the axis of rotation of the array. In addition, the housing has a continuous upper surface that is formed, in a region adjacent to the symmetric lens, to mate with the symmetric lens.
