Embodiment Construction

[0015] first reference figure 1 , shows a wireless ultrasound probe 5 coupled to a host system cable 20 utilizing an embodiment comprising a magnetic connection system of the present invention 10 . The probe 5 is enclosed in a rigid polymer sheath or shell, which has a distal end 12 and a proximal end 14 . At the distal end 12 is a transducer lens or acoustic window 16 for the array transducer. The transducer array emits ultrasonic waves through this acoustic window and receives the echo signals back. An antenna is located within the housing at the proximal end 14 of the probe, which transmits and receives radio frequency waves to and from the base station host. The wireless probe contains a rechargeable battery to provide power.

[0016] Although the main advantage of a wireless probe is the ability to use the probe without the probe being mechanically attached to the system host cable 20 , there are still situations where it is necessary to couple the probe 12 to the syst...

Abstract

A magnetic connection system suitable for use with a wireless ultrasound probe which utilizes a plurality of magnets to facilitate coupling between said probe and a diagnostic or clinical device in a manner which minimizes the effects of stray magnetic fields on the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to medical diagnostic systems, such as ultrasound systems, and more particularly to magnetic connector systems for coupling such systems to detachable probes. [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of US Application No. 60 / 941427, filed June 1, 2007. Background technique [0003] One of the longstanding drawbacks of medical diagnostic ultrasound, especially for sonographers, is the cables that connect the scanning probes to the ultrasound system. These cables are long and often thick due to the need to accommodate the many coaxial wires from the tens, hundreds or even thousands of transducer elements in the probe. Consequently, these probe cables are unwieldy and bulky. Some sonographers try to solve the cable problem by draping the cable over the arm or shoulder to provide support while scanning. This can lead to repetitive stress injuries in many cases. Another problem is that probe cables can contaminat...
