Abstract
An ultrasonic sector scanner for producing a sector scan in an object to be examined in which one or more ultrasonic transducers are positioned to direct ultrasonic waves toward the surface of one or more movable reflectors. The movable reflectors traverse an arcuate path with respect to a stationary reflector which is positioned to receive the ultrasonic waves scanning the surface of the stationary reflector from each of the movable reflectors and converge such waves at a point in front of the stationary reflector.
