1. An apparatus for providing an indication of an imaging plane of an ultrasonic transducer, comprising:

  • a sensor that provides an electronic signal representing a spatial orientation of the imaging plane of the ultrasonic transducer;

    a display that displays the imaging plane and a symbol indicating the spatial orientation of the imaging plane; and

    a processor, associated with the sensor and the display, that processes the electronic signal and generates a signal representing the spatial orientation that causes the display to manipulate the symbol.
