Abstract

A multi-planar scanning endocavital probe for ultrasonic imaging systems including an ultrasonic transducer coupled by a linkage to a selectively rotated motor shaft extending from the face of a motor. The linkage causes the transducer to scan a planar sector wherein the planar sector has a fixed relationship to the motor face. The motor face is moved to change the plane scanned by the transducer.
