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 mounted to a base unit for pivotal movement relative to the base unit and is steered by the action of a cable which is controlled by the remote control unit.
