Apparatus for the automatic examination of a patient's breast by echo mammography. A container for holding water has an opening for the receipt of the patient's breast, tyically while the patient is in a prone position. A supporting arm is arranged in the container for movement of an ultrasonic head in a series of essentially semi-circular arcs around the breast. A series of sonogram sectional images are produced and are stored in a conventional manner. The opening can be covered with an elastic, diaphragm-like film or a network of strands, permeable to ultrasonic waves, to support the patient's breast in the water bath. |
