摘要:
A standard articulated B-scan arm provides positional and directional information for a transducer at its end, based on relative angular displacements of the separate arm segments. A real time scanner, preferably one having a fixed transducer and a fixed oscillating mirror, is freely attachable or detachable from the scan arm. The probe itself is operable either in a real time sector scan or in a static B-scan mode.
