Transducer assembly for an echoscope

摘要

The present invention relates to a transducer assembly (1) for an echoscope, comprising a first row of ultrasonic transducers (2) and a second row of ultrasonic transducers (3), said transducer assembly (1) combining the advantages of a linear transducer and of transducers with various rows of transducers which are arranged at an angle with respect to one another, due to the fact that the first row of ultrasonic transducers (2) forms part of a first transducer element (4), due to the fact that the second row of ultrasonic transducers (3) forms part of a second transducer element (5) and due to the fact that the first transducer element (4) and the second transducer element (5) are detachably connectable to one another in at least two positions to form a composite transducer element (6).
