ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic scanning apparatus has a housing which includes the apparatus which has a cylindrical body extending along a central axis thereof and a window at a distal end of the cylindrical body. A transducer is disposed in the vicinity of the window to transmit an ultrasonic beam in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the housing, and a reflecting member is disposed to guide the ultrasonic beam to the outside through the window. A continuously rotating motor is disposed such that an output shaft thereof is parallel to the central axis of the housing. A swinging mechanism is coupled to the output shaft of the motor so as to swing the reflecting member within a predetermined angular range.
