Transducer assembly for an echoscope

Transducer assembly (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first row of ultrasonic transducers (2) is adapted in order to transmit first ultrasonic rays into a body in a first direction and to receive the reflection of said first ultrasonic rays, in that the second row of ultrasonic transducers (3) is adapted to transmit second ultrasonic rays into a body in a second direction and to receive the reflection of said second ultrasonic rays, and in that said first direction and said second direction intersect with one another in at least one of said positions.

Transducer assembly (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first row of ultrasonic transducers (2) is substantially as long as the second row of ultrasonic transducers (3).

Transducer assembly (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises at least a third row of ultrasonic transducers which forms part of a third transducer element which are detachably connectable in at least one position to the first transducer element (4) and/or to the second transducer element (5).

Transducer assembly (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one of said rows of ultrasonic transducers (2, 3) is of the convex type.

Transducer assembly (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said transducer elements (4, 5) are connectable to one another in order to detachably connect said transducer elements (4, 5).
