Ultrasound Scanner Operations & Operating Mechanisms
This section describes operation of ultrasound scanner. It furnishes information about the ultrasound transducer and ultrasound examination system. The various processes described include 1) Ultrasound Modes 2) ProDraft Automatic Drafting Controller 3) Operation of Ultrasound Scanner by Post-anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) 4) Field-Deployable Voice-Activated Ultrasound Scanner System 5) Nuchal Translucency (NT) Thickness Measurement: using a Virtual Ultrasound Scanner 6) Life Saving Ultrasound Scanner
User Interface for an Ultrasound System The user interface includes at least one user actuable input member for controlling operation of an ultrasound system. Then at least one user actuable input member is user configurable to control one operation of the ultrasound system.
A mode is an operational state that a system has been switched to. A normal mode occurs when all parts of a system oscillate with the same frequency. For example, a standing wave is a continuous form of normal mode. In a standing wave, all the parts are oscillating in the same frequency and phase but each has different amplitude.
A circular ultrasound transducer is divided into separate semi-circular transducer elements. Each element is separately operable, and each is aligned with similarly configured lens segments having different focal zones.
This invention relates to an ultrasound scanner head for use with ultrasound examination systems, and more particularly to an ultrasound scanner head.
ProDraft Automatic Drafting Controller The drafting controller can be used independently of any ultrasound scanner, allowing 3-way drafting based on any 5 attributes. The Prodraft controller works automatically from the tally remote.
Operation of Ultrasound Scanner by Post-anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) A reliability test of an ultrasound scanner is performed, implementing the postoperative monitoring equipment. Nurses in the PACU could operate the ultrasound scanner after a brief instruction and training period.
Field-Deployable Voice-Activated Ultrasound Scanner System Portable ultrasound scanners are available today and have the potential for becoming very useful for emergency use. This paper presents a wearable voice-activated ultrasound scanner system, suitable for field-deployment purposes.
Nuchal Translucency (NT) Thickness Measurement: using a Virtual Ultrasound Scanner Realistic fetal ultrasound images of defined NT thickness were simulated with virtual ultrasound scanner (VirUS). VirUS provides a consistent NT audit environment.
Life Saving Ultrasound Scanner Scanners of this type use an ultrasound beam to ‘see’ beneath the surface of the skin. However while in existing systems the beam is manipulated mechanically, in the new scanner the process will be electronically steered to allow a more thorough examination and faster imaging.
