Ultrasonic arrangement for puncturing internal body organs, vessels and the like

An arrangement for the puncturing of internal body organs, vessels or the like, through the utilization of a puncturing cannula or hollow needle which will well reflect an ultrasound, as well as an ultrasound-echo sectional view apparatus having an ultrasonic applicator with an ultrasound scanning system for the surface-wide ultrasonic scanning of the body region which is to be punctured, and a display or viewing apparatus for rendering visible the echo-section images. On viewing apparatus, a targeting aid for the aiming of a suitable punctuating point in the echo sectional view, and on the ultrasound applicator a guide aide adjustable at least in the targeting direction of the aiming aside for the introduction of the puncturing cannula into the body region which is to be punctured.

Ultrasonic apparatus for medical diagnosis

An ultrasonic apparatus for medical diagnosis operating in accordance with the impulse-echo method, which includes a cylindrical parabola reflector and at least one ultrasonic transducer rotatably positioned in the focal line thereof for the transmission and receipt of ultrasonic signals, the latter of which being so constructed that the ultrasonic beam transmitted thereby after reflection at the reflector, is displaced during its rotation in a plane parallel in the sense of a line-by-line image build-up, and wherein the current receiving direction coincides with the transmission direction. The reflector, in conjunction with the ultrasonic transducer, is supported so as to be pivotable about a transverse axis, which is so oriented that by means of tilting or inclining of the reflector there may be scanned various object section planes.
