Abstract: PURPOSE: To switch an scanning frame without letting go one's hold from a control device by providing a practicing mode changing means, a probe means for insertion into a human body, an operating means for operating this probe means, a connecting means for delivering an electric information signal to an instrument means and a switch means for controlling selection of a practicing mode on a scanning head. CONSTITUTION: A scanning head 10 is provided with an extended tubular probe part 12 and this probe part 12 is ended at the terminal end part 14 where a pair of ultrasonic transducer arrays are provided and on another terminal end part, an electric wiring for connecting a connector 20 with the transducer and a stainless steel used for controlling the direction of the terminal end part 14 are provided. The probe part 12 is connected with an operating device 16 wherein control nobs 32 and 34 for operating the terminal end part 14 of a terminal are provided. The operating device 16 is connected with a connector 20 connected to an ultrasonic diagnosis system with a cable 18 and in addition, a rocker switch for switching an image is provided on the bottom face. It is possible thereby to switch a scanning frame without letting go one's hold from a control device.
