摘要：An intracavity ultrasound probe includes a pivotally mounted array transducerwhich is oscillated to scan a volumetric region from within the body. The transducer isoscillated by a motor located in the probe handle. The array transducer is immersed in aliquid which acoustically couples ultrasonic energy between the elements of the

transducer and the body. The acoustic coupling liquid is located in the distal tip of theprobe shaft, where only 6 cc of liquid is required. The small amount of liquid reduces theweight of the shaft of the probe so that the center of gravity of the probe is in thehandle, making the probe comfortable and easy to manipulate. The majority of parts inthe probe shaft are made of aluminum or other low density materials, keeping theoverall weight of the probe to about 250 grams.
