An ultrasound medical system includes an ultrasound transducer assembly which is insertable into a patient, which has a longitudinal axis, and which has a plurality P of ultrasound transducers. Each transducer has an ultrasound- emitting surface oriented at an angle of substantially 360/P degrees apart from the ultrasound-emitting surface of an adjacent transducer when viewed in a cross section of the transducer assembly taken by a cutting plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. In one example, the ultrasound transducer assembly is an ultrasound imaging transducer assembly, an ultrasound medical-treatment transducer assembly, or an ultrasound imaging and medical-treatment transducer assembly.

L'invention concerne un système médical ultrasonore comprenant un assemblage de transducteurs ultrasonores pouvant être introduit dans un patient, ce système présentant un axe longitudinal et une pluralité (P) de transducteurs ultrasonores. Chaque transducteur comprend une surface d'émission d'ultrasons orientée à un angle sensiblement égal à 360/P degrés à partir de la surface d'émission d'ultrasons d'un transducteur adjacent, selon une coupe transversale de l'assemblage de transducteurs prise par un plan de coupe perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal. Dans un exemple, l'assemblage de transducteurs ultrasonores est un assemblage de transducteurs ultrasonores d'imagerie, un assemblage de transducteurs ultrasonores de traitement médical ou un assemblage de transducteurs ultrasonores d'imagerie et de traitement médical.
