Zusammenfassung:In an ultrasound transducer array (T) having a plurality of transducer elements (TE) each having a respective field of view (FOV-1-FOV-5), the ultrasound transducer array (T) being capable of being positioned around an object having a curved surface (S) resulting in a convergence of the respective fields of view of the transducer elements (TE), the transducer elements (TE) are arranged, or capable of being arranged, on the ultrasound transducer array (T) in a manner opposite to a curvature of the curved surface (S) so as to counteract the convergence of the respective fields of view.
