Abstract
A biplane ultrasound probe (10) including an outer casing (12) having a longitudinal axis and an inner member (14) mounted within the outer casing (12). A pair of scanning transducers (16,18) are mounted on the inner member (14) for respectively ultrasound scanning different orthogonal planes (23,25) of an adjacent object (20). The assembly includes a shifting mechanism for shifting the inner member (14) axially within the outer casing (12) independently of the outer casing (12) to move either one of the scanning transducers (16,18) into a unitary scanning position. The shifting mechanism further includes an actuator for actuating the one of the scanning probes (16,18) shifted into the scanning position to scan the object (20).
