摘要

The probe has a dry chamber (332) including a motor and a gear arrangement for mechanically controlling a transducer array and a system cable and a connection unit (281) for electrically controlling the array. A wet chamber (334) has a transducer control unit including a connection unit (340) for connecting the cable and the array via the connection unit (281). The connection units are connected via an interface (345). An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling ultrasound probe.
