Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to an ultrasound transducer assembly (10), in particular for intra vascular ultrasound systems. The assembly (10) comprises a transducer array (12) including a plurality of transducer elements (14) for transmitting and receiving ultrasound waves. Two support elements (16, 18) are provided for supporting the transducer array (12) in a curved or polygonal shape. The support elements (16, 18) are connected via a flexible connection layer (20) to the transducer array (12) for flexibly connecting the support elements (16, 18) to the transducer array (12).
