Abstract
An apparatus for providing an ultrasonic sectional view of a body to be examined. The apparatus comprises a transducer head in the form of a wheel in the periphery of which four ultrasonic transducers are built in. The wheel rotates about an axis perpendicular to the sectional plane. The apparatus further comprises means for separately and successively cutting the transducers in and out of a pulse circuit in such a manner that each transducer covers only a sector from -45.degree. to +45.degree. with regard to a symmetry axis for the transducer head.
