Abstract
An ultrasonic echography system includes a probe (1) which is connected to an echograph provided with a transmission stage (32), receiving and processing stages (34, 38) for ultrasonic echo signals, and a device (21) for displaying images of an artery. The probe (1) is formed by three integral transducers, i.e. a first, central transducer (2) for scanning the artery axially and two lateral, further transducers (3, 4) which are arranged parallel to one another and oriented perpendicularly to the first transducer in order to form transversal sectional images of the artery. The echograph also includes a sequence for sequentially activating each of the three transducers in a cyclical manner.
