Abstract: A medical ultrasound system that includes an ultrasound probe and one of number of optional accessories attached to the ultrasound probe. The accessory exchanges data with the probe and receives power from the probe. The accessory includes processors and logic that governs it operation thereby adding functionality to the probe. The accessory receives input and provides output via any of a number of communication mechanisms, i.e., wireless, electrical, optical, RFID, IR, and the like. The accessory adds functionality to the probe, such as fiber optic shape sensing, obtaining electrical signals, obtaining bio-impedance measurements, tracking a needle, and determining the orientation of the probe. The accessory may include a needle guide, a triphalangeal support structure, or an acoustically transparent cap.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, methods, and apparatus, for coordinating scanners in an ultrasound cart. An ultrasound system can include an ultrasound cart having a scanner holder configured to hold ultrasound scanners, a display device configured to display a visual representation of the scanner holder, and at least one of the ultrasound scanners. The visual representation can be implemented to identify locations of the ultrasound scanners on the scanner holder. The ultrasound scanners can be configured to indicate, while being held in the scanner holder, that one ultrasound scanner of the ultrasound scanners is to be selected for an ultrasound examination. The ultrasound scanner can also be configured to implement a first ultrasound imaging mode when a display device is attached to the ultrasound cart, and a second ultrasound imaging mode and not the first ultrasound imaging mode when the display device is removed from the ultrasound cart.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed herein for securely docking portable ultrasound imaging devices and/or other medical equipment to stand heads and other support structures. In some embodiments, a portable imaging device can include a movable carrying handle that enables the user to easily secure the imaging device to a stand head by rotating the handle to engage one or more latch mechanisms on the stand head. The user can quickly remove the imaging device from the stand head for transport to another location by disengaging the one or more latches and rotating the handle in the opposite direction. If the new location lacks a stand head or other docking structure, the user can rotate the handle downwardly to act as a stand that elevates the rear portion of the device to facilitate use on a desktop or other surface.
