ABSTRACT:
A scanhead for use in ultrasonic echo cardiography is described. The scanhead is particularly adapted for imaging a patient's heart from the patient's esophogus. The scanhead is comprised of a rotating base having a phased array or linear array scanhead mounted thereon, and the scanhead is rotated in order to change the cross-sectional plane of the heart which is intercepted by the ultrasound.
