  • Ultrasound imaging system including wireless probe tracking
    Patent number: 11656346
    Abstract: Ultrasound imaging systems including transducer probes having wireless tags, and associated systems and methods, are described herein. For example, the wireless tags can store supplemental data about the transducer probes, and the ultrasound system can include a base unit configured to wirelessly communicate with nearby ones of the wireless tags to receive the supplemental data. The base unit can be further configured to display the transducer probes that are nearby. In some embodiments, the operator can filter or sort the displayed nearby transducer probes based on the supplemental data to identify a particular one of the nearby transducer devices that has one or more desired attributes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2023
    Assignee: FUJIFILM SONOSITE, INC.
