ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER PROBE WITH AXISYMMETRIC LENS

摘要

According to the present invention, an ultrasonic transducer probe is provided having an array (4) of ultrasonic transducers rotatably mounted about an axis within the ultrasonic transducer probe, a lens (6) mounted to the array (4), and a housing (2) encasing the array and the lens. The lens (6) is symmetric about the axis of rotation (8) of the array. In addition, the housing has a continuous upper surface that is formed in a region adjacent to the symmetric lens (6) to mate with the symmetric lens.
