Fororientationpurposes,theusermaychoosetostartscanninginoneofthetransverse
planes,forinstancethestandardmonoplaneindicatedas0°onthesystemmonitor.After
rotatingthescanplane90°,scanningoccursinthelongitudinalplane,sweepingthrough
twooppositequadrantsofthecone.Whenthescanplanerotates90°furtherinthesame
direction,scanningoccursinthemirrorimageofthersttransverseplane.Theonlytwo
planesthatareequivalentarethetwotransverseplanes;onebeingthemirrorimageofthe
other.Asshowningurebelow,a180°rotationofthescanplanellsallfourquadrantsof
theconicimagingvolume.
Thedirectionofthetipoftheendoscopeiseasilysteeredusingthedeflectioncontrol
wheelsonthehandleoftheinstrumenttoallowexactpositioningofthetransducerinthe
esophagus.
