    Abstract: A low power ultrasound system for use in sonography applications, including vascular imaging, is disclosed. In one embodiment, the low power ultrasound system comprises a base unit that includes an image processor and a display. An ultrasound probe is operably connected to the base unit. The probe includes a head portion including an array of crystal transducers. A plurality of pulser/receiver modules that cause the transducers to emit ultrasonic transmit pulses are also included in the probe. The pulser/receiver modules are further configured to receive analog signals relating to ultrasonic echo receive pulses detected by the transducers. The probe includes a singular low noise amplifier that amplifies the analog signals, and an analog-to-digital converter that converts the analog signals to a digital signal. A wireless interface is included for enabling the digital signal to be wirelessly transmitted from the probe to the image processor of the base unit.

    Abstract: An RF intelligent active tag and an RF tag reader system with an intelligent active tag is attached to a monitored subject, and an intelligent RF transponder, with sensor, and energy harvesting modules, and which exchanges a tag message using a selected communication technique. The processing module stores selected subject data pertaining to the monitored subject, and the intelligent active tag communicates by exchanging a tag message with a remote transceiver The tag reader system includes an interrogator coupled to a host. The interrogator includes a transceiver exchanging a tag message with an active tag, using a selected communication technique. The interrogator can exchange subject data with an active tag, or may transmit a command to the active tag The host can provide perceptible representations of subject data, and can communicate with a remote transceiver. Tag reader protocol methods and an active tag operation method are provided.

    Abstract: A guidance system for assisting with the insertion of a needle or other medical component into the body of a patient is disclosed. The guidance system utilizes ultrasound imaging or other suitable imaging technology. In one embodiment, the guidance system comprises an imaging device including a probe for producing an image of an internal body portion target, such as a vessel. One or more sensors are included with the probe. The sensors sense a detectable characteristic related to the needle, such as a magnetic field of a magnet included with the needle. The system includes a processor that uses data relating to the detectable characteristic sensed by the sensors to determine a position and/or orientation of the needle in three spatial dimensions. In yet another embodiment, systems and methods for determining the length of the needle to be guided by the guidance system are disclosed.
