ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic diagnosis system includes an ultrasonic wave transmitting and receiving transducer which is rockably disposed within the distal end of a portion of an endoscope which is adapted to be inserted into a coeliac cavity. The transducer emits ultrasonic wave from within the coeliac cavity and directs it toward internal tissues of a physical body, thereby enabling an ultrasonic tomographic image to be obtained. The endoscope also includes an observation optical system which permits the location of the ultrasonic transducer within the coeliac cavity to be visually recognized.
