Ultrasonic imaging probe assemblies

An ultrasonic imaging probe assembly (10) including a multiple segment transducer (18) truncated along opposed edges to define an elongated transducer shape which is pivoted about a pivot axis(38) coincident with the tansducer (18). The resulting pivoting movement of the transducer (18) allows a sma...

Zusammenfassung:	An ultrasonic imaging probe assembly (10) including a multiple segment transducer (18) truncated along opposed edges to define an elongated transducer shape which is pivoted about a pivot axis(38) coincident with the tansducer (18). The resulting pivoting movement of the transducer (18) allows a smaller dimension probe assembly housing (30) with only limited diminution of control over ultrasonic depth of field and resolution. A multi-conductor cable (90) routes energising and monitoring signals to and from the transducer array (18). The multiple conductors (90) needed to carry these signals are arranged in a geometric configuration (Figure 10) to enhance the signal carrying characteristics of the cable (90).
