ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Combination Doppler and B-scan ultrasonic imaging apparatus is disclosed which includes visual display means for the simultaneous visual display of received ultrasonic Doppler and B-scan information. The apparatus includes first and second focused transducers associated with the Doppler and B-scan systems, which transducers are individually mounted for movement along parallel linear paths. The transducers each comprise a generally semi-cylindrical shaped body of piezoelectric material having opposite end faces upon which electrodes are disposed for connection to Doppler and B-scan transmitter and/or receiver units. The flat side walls of the piezoelectric bodies are positioned closely adjacent a mid-plane extending between the transducers, and means are provided for focusing the transducers at substantially the same depth for operation along a common focal region at, or adjacent, the mid-plane. One such focusing means includes acoustic lenses carried by the piezoelectric bodies. Another focusing means includes an electrode array for connection to the transmitter and/or receiver units through signal delay means. In yet another embodiment, the piezoelectric bodies are formed with curved end faces for focusing.
