ABSTRACT:
In an exemplary embodiment, an ultrasonic applicator for line-by-line ultrasonic scanning supplies echo signals to a device for displaying a layer image. The aim of the disclosure is to produce an imaging system which does not cause any coupling problems in any position of the application location; in addition, application should also be possible, in particular, in the chest area for obtaining subcostal sectional images. This aim is achieved by a line-by-line scanning applicator being also additionally pivotally or rotatably mounted, for the purpose of oscillation or rotation of the scanning surface, about such an oscillating-or rotating-axis, e.g. over a specifiable angular range and by a motor drive, with the applicator being firmly assigned to the selected application location during the angular movement.
