An external ultrasound probe assembly capable of scanning a three-dimensional volume is provided. The ultrasound probe assembly contains a plurality of ultrasonic transducers disposed along a longitudinal axis of the probe assembly. The plurality of ultrasonic transducers is disposed on a mechanism operable to reciprocally pivot the plurality of ultrasonic transducers enabling the plurality of ultrasonic transducers to scan the entire three-dimensional volume. A helically disposed electrical interconnection member may be disposed about a pivot axis of the plurality of ultrasonic transducers and may electrically interconnect the plurality of ultrasonic transducers to an ultrasound imaging system. The ultrasound probe assembly may be fluid filled and contain bubble position control and fluid expansion compensation features.

Linvention concerne un ensemble sonde ultrasonore capable de balayer un volume tridimensionnel. Lensemble sonde ultrasonore contient une pluralité de transducteurs ultrasonores disposés le long dun axe longitudinal de lensemble sonde. La pluralité de transducteurs ultrasonores est disposée sur un mécanisme capable de faire pivoter réciproquement la pluralité de transducteurs ultrasonores, permettant à la pluralité de transducteurs ultrasonores de balayer un volume tridimensionnel dans son ensemble. Un élément dinterconnexion électrique ayant une disposition en hélice peut être disposé autour dun axe de pivotement de la pluralité de transducteurs ultrasonores et peut interconnecter électriquement la pluralité de transducteurs ultrasonores à un système dimagerie ultrasonore. Lensemble sonde ultrasonore peut être rempli de fluide et comprendre des fonctions de contrôle de position de bulle et de compensation dexpansion de fluide.
