A wireless system and method for measuring and analyzing blood in a user's body is provided. The system includes a processing, power, and communication component (PPC) having a hardware unit and first housing enclosing the hardware unit; a probe having a piezoelectric crystal and second housing enclosing the piezoelectric crystal; a dock having a sensor and third housing enclosing the sensor. The second housing is spaced apart from the first housing. The third housing is adapted to removably couple to the first housing. The piezoelectric crystal can transmit an ultrasound wave into the body, receive a return ultrasonic wave, convert the return wave into an electrical signal, and transmit the signal to the sensor. The sensor is configured to receive and then transmit the electronic signal to the hardware unit, which is configured to wirelessly transmit a data set based on the electronic signal to a computer device.

A portable ultrasound imaging assembly includes a cart or support stand on which is mounted a portable ultrasound imaging system and a handle that can be grasped by a user to move the cart and imaging assembly into the desired position. The support stand further includes a storage bin removably mounted in a readily accessible location directly below the handle. The storage bin is formed to hold a number of large containers, such as cylindrical sanitizing wipe canisters, and has a profile similar to that of the handle. The profile of the storage bin includes a rear facing recess within which the support stand is disposed when the storage bin is secured to the support stand in either a forward or rearward facing direction. The attachment structure(s) for the storage bin is located within the recess to minimizing the profile of the storage bin on the support stand.

A portable ultrasound imaging assembly includes a probe management system to facilitate the positioning of accessories, such as containers and/or probes of various types and associated cords utilized with a portable ultrasound imaging system forming a part of the ultrasound imaging assembly. The probe management system includes dedicated attachment locations and/or handles that enable a user to readily grasp, move and carry the imaging assembly or components thereof into the desired position. The attachment locations and/or handles are formed with uniform cross-sectional shapes and include mounting locations thereon where various probe/accessory holders can be removably secured. The holders are formed with clips that conform to the cross-sectional shape of the attachment locations/handles, such that the holders can be mounted in a modular manner to either handle in the desired mounting location.

A portable ultrasound image diagnostic apparatus is shown. The apparatus includes an ultrasound probe and a hinge. The ultrasound probe transmits and receives ultrasound. The hinge connects a first housing and a lower edge portion of a second housing including a display panel so that the second housing is overlapped on the first housing to fold the portable ultrasound image diagnostic apparatus. The hinge is provided on an upper face of the first housing in a near side than a center. The second housing is rotated to a far side of the first housing with a horizontal axis of the hinge as a supporting axis to fold the portable ultrasound image diagnostic apparatus.

Provided are an obstetric and gynecologic diagnosis apparatus and an obstetric and gynecologic diagnosis method using the same. The obstetric and gynecologic diagnosis apparatus includes a chair unit on which an object is mounted, the chair unit including an upper body support, a seat, and a leg cradle sequentially arranged in one direction and connected to each other; a storage configured to store body information of the object; an input interface configured to input identification (ID) information of the object; a controller configured to generate a control signal for moving at least one of the upper body support, the seat, and the leg cradle according to first body information of the object identified by the input ID information; and a driver configured to generate a driving force for moving at least one of the upper body support, the seat, and the leg cradle according to the control signal.

Described here are methods and systems for the manipulation of ovarian tissues. The methods and systems may be used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The systems and methods may be useful in the treatment of infertility associated with PCOS.

A patient monitoring system includes: a biomedical sensor including: a transducer configured to produce a signal corresponding to a biological function; a sensor converter configured to convert the signal to a converted signal; and a transmitter configured to produce a communication, based on the converted signal, that is indicative of one or more values of the biological function, and to send the communication wirelessly; and a base station including: a receiver configured to receive the communication wirelessly and to produce a receiver output signal; a base station interface configured to produce a base station output signal indicative of the one or more values of the biological function; and at least one output port to receive the base station output signal and configured to be hard-wire connected to a display that is configured to display information indicative of the biological function.

A diagnostic ultrasound apparatus includes a body and an input/output port. The body generates an ultrasound image based on a received signal from an ultrasound probe that transmits and receives an ultrasound wave. The input/output port is connected to the body. The body includes a body-side connection part having a plurality of terminal connection ports. The input/output port includes a port-side connection part that collectively holds terminals corresponding to the terminal connection ports. The body-side connection part and the port-side connection part are connected by a connection method chosen between an indirect connection method via a connector and a direct connection method not via the connector.

An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to which a plurality of ultrasound probes are connected and which transmits and receives ultrasound using one of the plurality of ultrasound probes to generate ultrasound image data, the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes the following, a detector which optically detects the ultrasound probe which is used among the plurality of ultrasound probes; and a hardware processor which switches and sets the detected ultrasound probe to be the ultrasound probe which is used.
