Ultrasound image diagnosis apparatus

Abstract

An ultrasound image diagnosis apparatus executing lighting-on and lighting-off of a lighting device by detecting an identification (ID) data of a probe or an operation on an operation panel. The ultrasound image diagnosis also includes a lighting device configured to identify a usage state or non-usage state of the ultrasound probe by a lighting color. While an ultrasound examination is performedin a dimly-lit room, a visibility of an ultrasound probe connector can be increased.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C §119(a) to Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-115872 filed May 12, 2008, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic imaging diagnostic apparatus, and in particular, to an ultrasonic imaging diagnostic apparatus that can easily perform various tasks such as maneuvering an ultrasonic probe in a dark examination room. Background technique [0003] Ultrasonic imaging diagnostic device is a device that sends ultrasonic waves to the subject through an ultrasonic probe, receives echo signals from the subject, and reproduces ultrasonic images based on the echo signals, and inspects the organs and blood flow of the subject. , are widely used in the medical field. When performing ultrasonic image diagnosis, appropriate ultrasonic probes with different frequencies and vibrator surface shapes are used for abdominal use, circulatory syst...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in order to easily see the monitor screen of the ultrasonic diagnostic imaging device, the indoor lighting of the examination room during the ultrasonic examination is very dark.

Therefore, the removal and reinstallation of the connector to replace the ultrasonic probe has the difficulty of deteriorating visibility and operability.

[0007] In addition, the main part of the main body of the ultrasonic diagnostic imaging device other than the operation panel is not easy to see, so the visibility and operability such as confirmation of examination records are also poor.
