An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices designed for extracorporeal and/or intracorporeal (endosonography or endoscopic) imaging procedures involving the heart and blood vessels. Included are software packages that support a variety of static or real-time cardiac specific imaging applications used to diagnose anatomical defects of the heart, determine blood flow characteristics and functional/anatomical problems associated with myocardial infarction. It is used to generate ultrasound pulses, direct them to a target area, detect the echoes, and process the resulting information to produce and display static or dynamic two or three-dimensional (3-D) images.
