An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus in accordance with one aspect of the disclosure includes: a table configured to mount at least one probe; a first sensor configured to detect a type information of the probe and a mounting state of the probe; a driver configured to generate a driving force for moving the table; a second sensor configured to detect a position of the table; and a controller configured to control the driver based on detection results of the first sensor and the second sensor.

The present invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system comprising an ultrasound image acquisition station and a mobile display device. When disconnected from the ultrasound image acquisition station, the mobile display device may be operated by its own operating system providing general purpose applications to a user. When connected to the ultrasound image acquisition station, the hardware of the mobile display device is operated by an ultrasound application dedicated operating system stored on the ultrasound image acquisition station. By this, a low weight and flexible to use ultrasound imaging system may be provided.

The present disclosure provides an ultrasonic diagnostic system formed of an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and a wireless communication terminal and applicable to a wireless communication terminal with various resolution levels, including the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus which converts frame data obtained by collecting an echo signal at an ultrasonic probe into scan data corresponding to a resolution level of a display screen of the wireless communication terminal and the wireless communication terminal which receives the scan data from the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and scan-converts the scan data into an ultrasonic image adequate for the resolution level of the display screen thereof.

A human tissue quasi-elastic coefficient measurement method, wherein a simplex optimization method is used to determine human tissue quasi-elastic coefficients, and nine elastic coefficients in three dimensions are reduced to three quasi-elastic coefficients (for two-dimensional ultrasound patient treatment planning or probing, four elastic coefficients are reduced to two quasi-elastic coefficients), thereby saving calculation time. Also provided is a human tissue quasi-elasticity measurement method based on the human tissue quasi-elastic coefficient measurement method, wherein a secondary imaging method is used to measure relative changes in human tissue quasi-elastic coefficients, thereby improving defects in elasticity imaging devices which are dependent on ultrasound imaging accuracy. Changes in human tissue structures may be accurately determined by measuring the relative changes. Also provided is an ultrasound probe or probing device matched with the human tissue quasi-elastic coefficient measurement, which obviates the need for expensive imaging devices, thereby lowering costs.

System, devices, and methods for ultrasound imaging are provided, which may include a patient interface module (PIM) positioned between an ultrasound imaging device and a console. The PIM may include a proximal connector configured to interface with the console, a distal connector configured to interface with a connector of the ultrasound imaging device, and a cable extending between the proximal connector and the distal connector. The proximal connector may include a plurality of transformers.

A cart-type ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a recess portion disposed at an outer side surface of a casing that constitutes an apparatus body of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus; a probe connector that is disposed in the recess portion and to which a connection terminal of an ultrasound probe is connectable; and a cover member disposed at the outer side surface of the casing so as to cover the recess portion. The cover member, in a state in which the connection terminal of the ultrasound probe is connected to the probe connector, covers the recess portion and allows a cable of the ultrasound probe to be led out from inside of the recess portion to outside of the recess portion.

In the present invention, an FE device and a BE device communicate using two wireless communication routes in a separate state. Approaching of each device is determined in both devices immediately prior to a docking state by monitoring of a wireless communication state. Wireless communication between the two devices is then stopped, and both devices enter a freeze state (operation-limited state). When the docking state is then formed, wired communication is established between both devices. Then, when an unfreeze input occurs, both devices return to a normal operation state. Both devices temporarily enter the freeze state also when a state change from the docking state to the separate state occurs.

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.

Various methods and systems are provided for a portable ultrasound imaging system. In one example, a portable ultrasound imaging system is disclosed, comprising a support stand with a sliding portion vertically slidable in relation to a stationary portion; a cradle configured to support an ultrasound imaging device and coupled to the sliding portion of the support stand; a tray, positioned below the cradle, coupled to the sliding portion of the support stand; and a case at least partially enclosing an electric power converter including an electric power cable, electrically coupled to the ultrasound imaging device, and positioned at a rear side of the support stand and coupled to the sliding portion of the support stand such that the sliding portion and the case move in unison during sliding movement of the sliding portion.

Systems and methods for distributed ultrasound imaging with a portable ultrasound system. A system can include a portable ultrasound system and an external ultrasound docking unit. The portable ultrasound system can include one or more transmitters and one or more receivers configured to transmit ultrasound waves into a subject region and receive ultrasound waves from the subject region. The portable ultrasound system can also include a portable ultrasound processing unit configured to perform ultrasound image processing for generating one or more ultrasound images of the subject region. The external ultrasound docking unit can be configured to receive the portable ultrasound system and offload at least a portion of the ultrasound image processing from the portable ultrasound processing unit when portable ultrasound system is coupled to the external ultrasound docking unit.
