Abstract An electronically step scanned real time ultrasonic imaging system and method is disclosed. The system in- cludes a transducer assembly having an unequally spaced array of elements, each with an axis of transmission along which it transmits its main ultrasonic energy when electrically stimulated. The elements are disposed in a curvilinear array, wherein their axes of transmission are approximately coplanar, but divergent in the common plane. This configuration provides a relatively large scanned area without need for either electronic or mech- anical sector scanning techniques to steer the incident ultrasonic energy over a large angle.
