Abstract

Abstract Translated from German Ein Ultraschall-Endoskop (1), insbesondere für die Gastroskopie, besteht aus einer in einen Körper einführbaren Endoskopsonde (5), an deren distalem Ende ein Ultraschallkopf (13) mittels eines Schlauchüberzugs (12) aufgezogen werden kann. Der Schlauchüberzug (12) kann aber auch von der Sonde (5) abgezogen werden, so daß das Endoskop (1) ohne Ultraschallkopf (13) eingesetzt werden kann. Signalleitungen (27) zum Anschluß des Ultraschallkopfes (13) an ein Signalsteuer- und/oder Verarbeitungsgerät verlaufen in der Wand des Schlauchüberzugs (12) bis zum proximalen Schlauchende. An ultrasound endoscope (1), in particular for gastroscopy, consists of an endoscope probe (5) which can be inserted into a body and at the distal end of which an ultrasound head (13) can be fitted using a tube cover (12). The tube cover (12) can also be removed from the probe (5) so that the endoscope (1) can be used without an ultrasound head (13). Signal lines (27) for connecting the ultrasound head (13) to a signal control and / or processing device run in the wall of the tube cover (12) to the proximal end of the tube.
