    Abstract: An ultrasound wireless probe adapter is presented. The adapter includes a first coupling unit configured to detachably couple the adapter to ultrasound probe assemblies, a second coupling unit configured to wirelessly couple the adapter to a smart device, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to wirelessly communicate with the smart device to accept user inputs, generate and transmit one of excitation signals and control and configuration signals to the ultrasound probe assemblies based on the user inputs and a category of the ultrasound probe assemblies to initiate emission of acoustic signals towards a region of interest in a subject, receive echo signals generated by the ultrasound probe assemblies in response to one of the transmitted excitation signals or the transmitted control and configuration signals, and process received beam signals based on a processing capability of the smart device to generate one of partially-processed image data and fully-processed image data.

    IPC: A61N7/00

    Abstract: The present discussion relates to the delivery of ultrasonic therapy energy to a target region in conjunction with a clear path determination that may assess one or more of: (1) presence of non-soft tissue regions within the therapy beam path (e.g., bone or bone-like structures, gas-filled cavities, and so forth), (2) partial “lift-off” of the probe head; or (3) sufficiency of acoustic coupling. Upon determination or confirmation of at least a partial clear path with respect to some or all of these factors, the therapy beam may be delivered to the target region.

    Abstract: A transducer probe is presented. The transducer probe includes a housing having a probe surface at a first end. Further, the transducer probe includes an acoustic array having an array aperture, wherein the acoustic array is disposed adjacent the probe surface of the housing, and wherein the acoustic array is configured to transmit ultrasound signals towards a target volume. Also, the transducer probe includes a flex interconnect configured to electrically couple the acoustic array to at least one electronic unit. Furthermore, the transducer probe includes an electrical standoff disposed between the acoustic array and the flex interconnect to reduce a footprint of the transducer probe to a first value, wherein the first value is proximate to a lateral size of the array aperture.
