An ultrasonic diagnosis device includes an ultrasonic oscillator, contained in a probe which can be inserted into a blood vessel, which can vary direction of transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves to receive an echo signal from the wall of the blood vessel thereby calculating information about the inner and outer walls of a blood vessel and obtaining cross-sectional and three-dimensional images of a blood vessel and the like.

Integrated ultrasonic diagnosis device utilizing intra-blood-vessel probe

An ultrasonic observing apparatus includes an ultrasonic wave transmitting and receiving apparatus for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, a first scanning apparatus for moving the direction in which the ultrasonic wave transmitting and receiving apparatus transmits and receives waves so that a first ultrasonic tomographic image may be obtained, a second scanning apparatus for moving the direction in which the ultrasonic wave transmitting and receiving apparatus transmits and receives waves so that a second ultrasonic tomographic image intersecting with the first ultrasonic tomographic image may be obtained and a control apparatus for controlling the first scanning apparatus and second scanning apparatus as related with each other.

Ultrasonic observing apparatus

A borescope apparatus comprising a flexible insertion section, a jet port formed at the insertion section, a moving device for supplying a compressed fluid to the jet port, whereby the insertion section is moved by an impellent force of the fluid ejected from the jet port, and a stabilizing device for steadily maintaining the position of the insertion section.

Borescope apparatus

A borescope apparatus having a borescope and a pressurized fluid supply device. The borescope has an operation unit and an insertion unit. The insertion unit comprises a bending tube portion, a jet port member coupled to a proximal end of the bending tube portion, and a flexible tube portion. The bending tube portion can be bent by operating the operation unit. The jet port member has a jet port. A pressuring fluid is supplied from the fluid supply unit to the jet port member, and is ejected through the jet port. The flexible tube portion can be bent by a jet of the fluid from through the jet port independently of the bending tube portion.
