ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic transducer probe assembly. The assembly includes a multiple segment transducer truncated along opposed edges to define an elongated transducer shape which is pivoted about a pivot axis coincident with the transducer. The resulting pivoting movement of the transducer allows a smaller dimension probe assembly housing with only limited diminution of control over ultrasonic depth of field and resolution. A multiconductor cable routes energizing and monitoring signals to and from the transducer array. The multiple conductors needed to carry these signals are arranged in a geometric configuration to enhance the signal carrying characteristics of the cable.
