Abstract
An ultrasonic diagnosis device comprising a probe having an ultrasonic sensor rotatable about a central axis thereof. The sensor is adapted to carry out ultrasonic sector scanning. The device also includes a display for producing a sectional image of a portion of a patient. A bright line corresponding to the central axis of the sensor is produced together with the sectional image on the display. A first sectional image is produced on the display when the sensor is in a first rotational position. The bright line is then produced over the sectional image, and the position of the sensor is adjusted so that the bright line passes through the center of an object in the image. The sensor is then moved to a second rotational position, and a second sectional image is produced on the display.
