Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for an accessory holder. In one example, the accessory holder has a base plate with a front edge and a rear edge, and an inlet extending from the rear edge to an opening in the base plate. The opening has oppositely arranged, rebounding contact seats configured to bend away from the accessory inserted into the opening while exerting a pressure on the accessory.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for portable ultrasound imaging. In one example, a portable ultrasound imaging system includes: a touch-sensitive graphical display; a controller in electronic communication with the display; and a housing enclosing the display and the controller, the housing including: an electronic input connection adapted to electrically couple the controller with an ultrasound probe; a probe storage section having an opening shaped to receive the ultrasound probe; and a first mating feature adapted to engage with a counterpart, second mating feature of a cradle of a support stand to removably couple the housing to the cradle.

Abstract: A system (e.g., an ultrasound imaging system) is provided. The system includes an ultrasound probe having a cable, and an ultrasound probe holder configured to receive the ultrasound probe. The system further includes a housing supported by a base. The housing includes a connector port and a cable manage passage. The cable manage passage positioned at an upper end of the housing distal to the base. The cable extending through the cable manage passage and is attached to the connector port. The ultrasound probe holder is coupled to a front side of the housing.

Abstract: An ultrasound apparatus includes a base, a housing extending upwardly from the base and having opposed lateral sides, the housing being configured to support an operator console and display, and a storage bin received in a recess in the housing. The storage bin is movable from a first position in which the storage bin is received within the recess of the housing, and a second position in which the storage bin extends from one of the lateral sides of the housing.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an ultrasound probe is provided including a probe body with a sensing face arranged to be held in contact with a subject by a user. The probe also provides a tactile interface located on a side of the probe body sufficiently close to the sensing face so that a user can depress the tactile interface with a finger while the probe is grasped by the user via the thumb of the same hand and at least two other fingers of the same hand rest in contact with the subject. The probe includes at least one switch which is activated by depression of the tactile interface.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an interventional guidance method includes generating an ultrasound image of a subject anatomy of interest. The method also includes superimposing on the ultrasound image a visual indication of at least one of projection of a position of an interventional device, trajectory of the interventional device, and a location at which the interventional device will intercept an ultrasound imaging plane. The interventional guidance method also includes dynamically altering an aspect of the superimposed visual indication during a interventional procedure. The dynamic altering includes altering a dynamic indication of a trajectory of the interventional instrument transverse to the imaging plane or an interception location of the trajectory of the interventional instrument with the imaging plane.
