Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19755974A1] A process and device are disclosed for obtaining 3D ultrasonic data, in particular for imaging during neurosurgery interventions in the field of minimally invasive surgery. The device has an ultrasonic transducer (5), a fixing device (4) for locally fixing the ultrasonic transducer (2) relative to a region to be sensed and a connecting strip (3( which links the ultrasonic transducer to the fixing device (4). The connecting strip (3) is joined to an edge of the ultrasonic transducer (2) and encloses a substantially right angle with the plane of the transducer (2). The device makes it possible to obtain ultrasonic data during a minimally invasive intervention.
