Abstract: A device and system for and methods of using an ultrasound probe housing containing ultrasound probes configured to produce images inside the body of a patient for procedures requiring needle or probe insertion. The ultrasound probe housing can be configured with a guide channel cut-out or aperture between the ambient side and body side of a patient. A needle guide assembly may be pivotally connected internal to the guide channel cut-out or aperture of the ultrasound probe housing at a pivot point such that during use the needle enters the patient through the needle guide assembly within the ultrasonic probe housing so that the needle can be visualized by the ultrasonic probes in real time. The ultrasound probe housing may also provide an adhesion or suction quality to the body side of the device to facilitate aspects of the invention.

Abstract: A device comprises an ultrasound probe housing having an ambient side and a body side wherein the ultrasound probe housing contains a plurality of ultrasound probes configured to produce images of inside the body of a patient. The device may further include a needle guide assembly connected to the housing that receives a needle for insertion into the body of the patient so that the needle can be visualized by the ultrasonic probes in real time. Each of a first set of the ultrasound probes is positioned non-perpendicular to the body side of the ultrasound probe housing such that a direction of ultrasound waves generated by each of the first set of ultrasound probes is toward a site of penetration of the needle into the body of the patient.

Abstract: A device comprises an ultrasound probe housing containing ultrasound probes configured to produce images inside a body of a patient and having an ambient side, a body side, a first side that connects the ambient side to the body side, and a second side that connects the ambient side to the body side and is substantially opposite to the first side, and wherein the ultrasound probes are positioned to provide a field of view beneath the body side of the ultrasound probe housing. The device further includes a first clamping arm that extends from the first side and a second clamping arm that extends from the second side, wherein the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are configured to secure the ultrasound probe housing to a body of the patient such that the body side of the ultrasound probe is facing toward the body of the patient.

Abstract: A device comprises an ultrasound probe housing containing ultrasound probes configured to produce images inside the body of a patient for procedures requiring needle or probe insertion. Each of a first subset of the ultrasound probes is positioned such that a direction of ultrasound waves generated thereby is through a body side of the ultrasound probe housing and perpendicular thereto. Each of a second subset of the ultrasound probes is positioned non-perpendicular to the body side of the ultrasound probe housing such that a direction of ultrasound waves generated thereby is toward a site of needle penetration directly beneath a guide channel cut-out or aperture of the ultrasound probe housing. A first ultrasound probe in the first subset of ultrasound probes may be located further from the body side of the ultrasound probe housing that a second ultrasound probe in the first subset of ultrasound probes.
