Problems solved by technology

However, cable management using the shaft design becomes ineffective since the cable 119 for providing power and electrical signals to the ultrasound transducer 114 is attached to the proximal end of the ultrasound probe, thereby hindering the rotational movement of the shaft. questionable

Abstract

A device includes an ultrasound probe including an elongated neck insertable in a patient and rotatable around a first longitudinal axis, an ultrasound transducer, and an elongated body rotatable around a second longitudinal axis that is parallel to and offset from the first longitudinal axis. The elongated body is removably attached to a probe mounting structure. A shaft is attached to the probemounting structure, where rotation of the shaft causes corresponding rotation of the probe mounting structure and the attached elongated body of the ultrasound probe. The shaft defines a longitudinalshaft channel in an interior portion and a longitudinal shaft groove extending from a surface of the shaft to the longitudinal shaft channel. A cable is insertable into the longitudinal shaft channelthrough the longitudinal shaft groove, and enters an internal channel of the ultrasound probe through the longitudinal shaft channel enabling electrical connection with the ultrasound transducer.

Description

Background technique [0001] The transperineal walker is configured to drive the biopsy needle through the intended location of the perineum (ie, the area between the patient's anus and scrotum or vulva). A grid plate having a grid pattern or array of holes is positioned at the distal end of the transperineal walker to provide guidance for one or more biopsy needles. The transperineal walker includes an ultrasound probe insertable into a patient's rectum, a cradle configured to rotate the ultrasound probe to multiple angles during a procedure, and a base configured to move the ultrasound probe longitudinally. A grid can be attached to the transperineal walker, and different kinds of grids can be used that vary, for example, in pattern and hole size. Grids can be reusable or disposable components. The ultrasound probe provides ultrasound images from inside the patient and stabilizes the position of the transperineal walker. [0002] 1A is a perspective view of a conventional ...
