Abstract
A multi-row ultrasonic imaging apparatus and an ultrasonic imaging instrument are disclosed. The multi-row ultrasonic imaging apparatus includes a housing, and a first ultrasonic transducer, a second ultrasonic transducer, and an adjustment mechanism that are installed in the housing. Ultrasonic waves emitted by the first ultrasonic transducer and the second ultrasonic transducer can intersect to form a confocal point. At least one of the first ultrasonic transducer and the second ultrasonic transducer is connected to the adjustment mechanism to move relative to the housing under the action of the adjustment mechanism, so as to adjust the position of the confocal point.
