An ultrasonic imaging system includes an ultrasonic transducer having multiple ultrasonic transducer elements which are movable between at least first and second configurations which differ in curvature. The transducer elements supply receive signals to a receive beamformer, and the receive beamformer supplies output signals to a scan converter, which is controlled by a scan converter controller. The scan converter controller generates a control signal indicative of the configuration of the transducer elements, and the scan converter responds to this control signal to reduce image distortion associated with movement of the transducer elements between the first and second configurations.
