Apparatus and methods for ultrasound imaging with positioning of the transducer array

摘要: Apparatus and methods for positioning a transducer array within ultrasound probes are disclosed. In one embodiment, the probe is 3D or real-time comprises that can be repositioned rotated relative to housing image locations could not viewed from central scan plane of probe. some embodiments, stepper motor used position array. The drive train may further include gear coupled by belt, shaft coupling Repositioning allows imaging variety areas patient without moving patient. Any 2D forms performed at any planes range volume swept such as in accordance with an embodiment present invention.
