An ultrasound medical system (94) includes a tube (96) and resiliently flexible fingers (98). The tube (96) has a distal end insertable into a patient and has a lumen (102) with a distal opening (104). The fingers (98) are extendable out of the distal opening (104) of the lumen (102) creating a deployed state and are at-least-partially retractable into the distal opening of the lumen creating a stowed state. Each finger includes an ultrasound transducer (106), wherein the distance between the transducers of adjacent fingers is greater in the deployed state than in the stowed state. In one example, at least one of the transducers is an ultrasound imaging transducer, an ultrasound medical-treatment transducer, or an ultrasound imaging and medical treatment transducer. |
