ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic probe assembly in which the disposition of the scan plane of an ultrasonic transducer unit, introduced into a human body, can be selected to image a body part in different ways. The scan plane is selected by operation of a remote control unit by which the ultrasonic array is moved. The ultrasonic array is connected to a base unit by means of a flexible coupling and is steered by the action of cables which are controlled by the remote control unit.
