Abstract
A system () includes an elongate ultrasound imaging probe () with a long axis and a top side that extends along the long axis. The elongate ultrasound imaging probe includes an elongate tubular handle (), a head (), an elongate tubular shaft () between the elongate tubular handle and the head, and a transducer array () disposed in the head and configured to transmit in a sagittal plane, which is a plane that cuts through the long axis of the elongate tubular shaft, only in a direction extending out from the top side. The elongate tubular handle is both not centered on the elongate tubular shaft and not shifted down in the sagittal plane away from the top.
