Abstract

The present invention relates to a three-dimensional ultrasound imaging system(10) comprising an ultrasound image acquisition device (46) and a mobile console (18), which are both connected in a wireless manner. In particular, the ultrasound acquisition device has a battery powered probe (14) having a probe housing (20), and the transducer array (32) and an image acquisition hardware assembly (37) comprising at least a beam former (34) and a signal processor (36) are located within the probe housing (16). By this, a low weight flexible, three-dimensional ultrasound imaging system(10) may be provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasound image acquisition device for use with a mobile console to form an ultrasound imaging system. Additionally, the present invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system for providing images of volumes, such as anatomical views within a patient's body. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound imaging systems are well known in the art. They are used, inter alia, to provide anatomical imaging of views within the patient's body. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging of a patient's body are known to provide medical practitioners with reliable tools to view parts of a patient's body without requiring any surgical steps. [0003] In three-dimensional ultrasound imaging, or volumetric imaging, the acquisition of three-dimensional images can be accomplished by performing many two-dimensional scans that slice through the volume of interest. Therefore, a large number of two-dimensional images are acqu...
