Popis: An ultrasound probe for positioning in the vaginal cavity includes a phased array of transducer elements at one end thereof oriented at an acute angle with respect to the central axis of the probe whereby the imaging field of view is provided by rotating the probe. A biopsy needle assembly snaps onto slots on the probe with a fork and socket fit. A handle on the probe is offset from the central axis of the probe thereby freeing the space around the entrance to the needle guide and facilitating the manipulation by hand of a needle in the guide.
