  • Ultrasonic transducer probe and a measurement device utilizing the same
    Patent number: 6719698
    Abstract: A probe device is presented for use in an ultrasound-based measurement device for blood flow measurements in a patient's body. The probe comprises a housing containing a transducer arrangement. An outer surface of the housing, by which the probe is brought to a measurement location in the patient's body, is patterned so as to have at least one projecting portion. The design of the probe enables correct orientation of the transducers with respect to a blood vessel under measurements. The probe device is associated with an operation means for operating the probe, and an indication means for generating output data indicative of measurement results, which are incorporated in a common housing of a hand-held measurement device.

  • Dual ultrasonic transducer probe for blood flow measurement, and blood vessel diameter determination method
    Patent number: 6503205
    Abstract: A dual ultrasonic transducer probe and a method of utilizing the probe to determine a blood vessel diameter are presented. The probe comprises first and second ultrasound transducers whose ultrasound beams intercept at an acute angle, and which can be so disposed relative to a blood vessel's longitudinal axis that both their ultrasound beam axes intercept the blood vessel's longitudinal axis. The blood vessel diameter determination method is based on the creation of a two-dimensional matrix of complex reflection amplitude values for each of the beams along an axis of its propagation.
