ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an operation section and an insertion section adapted to be inserted into the body cavity of a human being. The insertion section has an insertion channel extending therethrough. A guide sheath is slidably inserted into the channel and has a distal end portion pivotally supported on the distal end of the insertion section by link arms. An ultrasonic probe is fixed to the distal end of the insertion section. An image guide extends through the sheath to the end face thereof. A guide channel for guiding a puncture needle extends through the sheath and opens at the end face thereof. When being pushed out from the insertion section the distal end portion of the sheath is pivotted to change its direction.
