  • Ultrasound probe
    Patent number: 10736602
    Abstract: An ultrasound imaging probe (101) includes a communications interface (107), including one or more ports (200-205), corresponding to one or more different communication protocols, for communication with ultrasound consoles. The probe (101) also includes a controller (106) that configures the probe (101) for communication with an ultrasound console (102) over a port (200-205) based on a communication between the communications interface (107) and a communications interface (110) of the console (102).

  • Ultrasound apparatus cover
    Patent number: 9980700
    Abstract: An ultrasound transducer cover (100) includes a base (202), including an acoustically transmissive membrane (110) with first and second opposing sides. The cover further includes walls (204, 206) protruding from the base in a same direction away from the first side of the base, forming a cavity about the acoustically transmissive membrane with a geometry that conforms to a geometry of a probe head of an ultrasound apparatus housing a transducer array and a corresponding acoustic window. The cover further includes an acoustically transmissive adhesive (108) disposed on the membrane in the cavity, wherein the acoustically transmissive adhesive maintains the cover on the ultrasound apparatus in response to installing the cover on the ultrasound apparatus.
