Abstract: A portable ultrasound system provides immersive viewing of images. A small, lightweight scope includes a transducer and a display. The display is adapted for viewing ultrasound images close to the eye of the user, such as within five inches or a couple feet of the eye. By adapting the system for close viewing, the ultrasound system is sensory immersive, such as an otoscope or endoscope. A magnifying lens is positioned adjacent to a display screen. The magnifying lens adapts the small display screen for viewing close to the user's eye. A shade or eyepiece extends away from and at least partly around the display screen. The shade allows viewing in many different lighting conditions. Alternatively, the ultrasound image is viewed on a head mounted display attached to glasses or a helmet.

Abstract: A probe holder embodies an insert body removably set into a through-slot of an ultrasound system panel. The holder defines an inner cavity extending from a first opening at a top surface to a second opening at a bottom surface. A side opening extends the axial length of the holder from the first opening to the second opening. Upon insertion of the holder into the panel through-slot, the holder is movable between an open position and a closed position. At the open position the holder side opening is aligned with a corresponding side opening of the panel. With the holder moved into the closed position, the holder side opening is blocked by inner walls of the panel through-slot. A probe cord slides through the side openings while the holder is in the open position. Once the holder is moved to the closed position, the probes cord is radially trapped within the holder.
