Embodiment Construction

[0037] Referring to the drawings, in which like numerals indicate the same or similar elements, Figure 1 to Figure 5 An ultrasound transducer probe, indicated generally at 10, according to the invention is shown. The probe 10 includes a housing 12 , a transducer 14 disposed within the housing 12 and a display unit 16 disposed within the housing 12 . The display unit 16 may be built-in or integrated into the housing 12 .

[0038] The housing 12 has an upper portion 18 having a generally spherical outer surface and a lower portion 20 having an approximately frusto-conical general shape. The upper part 18 is designed to be easily grasped by a user and includes an opening 22 in its top part. The lower portion 20 includes an opening 24 through which ultrasonic waves are transmitted and received by the transducer 14 during use of the probe 10 . The lower portion 20 also includes a cable guide 26 through which cables 28 pass to connect the transducer 14 to a control unit (not sho...

Abstract

Method for visualizing data within an ultrasound probe system in which a display (16) is arranged within a housing (12) of an ultrasound probe (10) in a position such that it is visible and the display is controlled to display transducers related to the probe (14) and / or probe data. By providing a display connected to the ultrasound probe housing, a user can observe functional parameters of the transducer or transducer settings and probe settings while maintaining the transducer in a common field of view with the patient or subject being examined.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to methods for visualizing data related to an ultrasound transducer probe of an ultrasound imaging system, and more particularly to housings for ultrasound transducer probes that provide a built-in or integrated dynamic display on which the Status information about the settings of the transducers of the probe and / or other relevant information about the transducers. Background technique [0002] In ultrasound imaging systems, ultrasound transducer probes are often used for collaborative imaging of internal body parts of a patient. The probe, also known as an ultrasound probe, comprises a housing and a transducer arranged within the housing at a position such that ultrasound waves are emitted from the active surface of the transducer to the body part when the housing passes the body part. The transducer then receives the ultrasound waves reflected from the body part. A cable is connected to the transducer and pas...
