System and Methods for Ultrasound Imaging with Modularized Frontend and Personal Computer System
A modularized ultrasound apparatus utilizes a PC system such as PC case, thermal management subsystem, power supply unit, motherboard, CPU, memory, hard drive, GPU, to build an ultrasound system by inserting frontend modules integrated on PCIe expansion cards as modularized components into the PC system's PCIe expansion subsystem.
Patient monitor and physiological information system
A physiological information system includes a patient monitor configured to acquire a vital sign based on a vital sign signal of a subject, and an ultrasonic measuring apparatus configured to acquire ultrasonic images based on ultrasonic waves transmitted toward the subject and received from the subject. The patient monitor includes a storage device configured to store measured data of the vital signs in association with measurement dates and times, and to store the ultrasonic images in association with image capture timings, and a controller configured to display a screen on a display section based on data, including the measured data and the ultrasonic images, stored in the storage device.
Ultrasonic diagnostic system
An ultrasound diagnostic system includes a portable ultrasound diagnostic device and an extended docking device to which the portable ultrasound diagnostic device is detachably mounted, wherein at least one of the probes and channels are extended when the portable ultrasound diagnostic device is mounted to the extended docking device. Also, the ultrasound diagnostic system may further include an indoor ultrasound diagnostic device including a portable docking part, and the portable ultrasound diagnostic device may include a cart-based docking part and be connected to the indoor ultrasound diagnostic device. The ultrasound diagnostic system may enhance portability of the portable ultrasound diagnostic device and simultaneously achieves superior ultrasound diagnostic performance and quality also in the portable ultrasound diagnostic device through extension of the probes, signal channels, diagnostic items, or diagnostic performance, as occasion demands.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ULTRASOUND PROBE POWER MANAGEMENT
Various methods and systems are provided for ultrasound imaging probe power management. In one embodiment, a power management system for an ultrasound imaging system includes a wireless charger and a mount configured to couple to a probe holder of the ultrasound imaging system. The probe may seat against the wireless charger for charging of a power source of the probe.
WIRELESS ULTRASOUND PROBE, ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS CONNECTED TO WIRELESS ULTRASOUND PROBE, AND OPERATING METHOD OF ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS
Provided is a wireless ultrasound probe configured to detect a state in which the wireless ultrasound probe is detached from a charging terminal, causing supply of the charging power to the wireless ultrasound probe to be discontinued, and the wireless ultrasound probe is paired with the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus by using a wireless communication scheme when supply of the charging power is discontinued. Also provided are an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and an operating method of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus configured to be automatically paired with a wireless ultrasound probe in a state in which the wireless ultrasound probe is detached from a charging terminal of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, causing supply of the charging power to the wireless ultrasound probe to be discontinued.
INTRALUMINAL MEDICAL IMAGING INTERFACE DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
An intraluminal medical imaging interface device includes an arm assembly comprising one or more longitudinal members and one or more joints coupled to the one or more longitudinal members, and a head assembly coupled to a distal portion of the arm assembly and comprising a proximal portion coupled to the distal portion of the arm assembly and a distal portion. The distal portion of the head assembly includes a mechanical coupling and an electrical coupling configured to separably connect to an intraluminal imaging catheter and to transmit electrical signals between a console and the intraluminal imaging catheter. The arm assembly is configured to couple to a surface to maintain the head assembly at a first position and an orientation with respect to a patient without continued support by an operator. Associated devices, systems, and methods are also provided.
ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE
A cable container is provided on a right side surface or a left side surface of a device body of an ultrasound diagnostic device. The cable container is configured to include a container body having an opening that opens upward. An upper end of a front side wall of the container body has a notch that serves as a passage through which a probe cable extends from the inside of the container body toward the outside of the container body.
ULTRASOUND UTILITY STATION
Embodiments of ultrasound utility station and methods for using the same are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes displaying a status of the ultrasound machine that indicates a location of the ultrasound machine and an amount of charge of a battery of the ultrasound machine, and displaying an additional status that indicates an additional location of the ultrasound utility station and one or more available ultrasound probes on the ultrasound utility station. After receiving a selection of an ultrasound probe of the available ultrasound probes and a user input that determines a schedule for said configuring the ultrasound machine, the method instructs the ultrasound utility station to charge the battery of the ultrasound machine and provide the ultrasound probe for transfer to the ultrasound machine.
GENERATING CARE FACILITY MAPS
