ULTRASOUND PROBE AND DEVICE FOR 3D IMAGING OF THE JAW

摘要

The present invention relates to an ultrasound probe (1) for dental imaging, comprising typically several transducers (4) arranged so as to operate in emission and in reception, and in particular arranged to emit ultrasound waves of frequency of at least 10 MHz, and optionally several transducers (4) arranged so as to operate in emission and in reception and arranged so as to emit ultrasound waves of frequency less than 4 MHz. The transducers are mounted on a flexible support (3), secured to a rigid armature (2) typically of "U" shape. The invention also relates to a device comprising such a probe.
