Abstract: A cart is provided for mounting a portable ultrasonic diagnostic device, the cart being small in size and having high operability, and the portable ultrasonic diagnostic device is opened and used in the state of being kept mounted on the cart. The cart has a top board 1 for placing the portable ultrasonic diagnostic device thereon, a support column 2 for supporting the top board in such a manner as movable up and down, multiple legs 3 for supporting the support column, wheels 4 respectively attached to the legs, and a unit 5 having a predetermined function. The unit 5 is placed below the top board 1 in the rear of the support column 2, and the center of gravity of the cart is positioned in the rear of the center of the support column 2. This cart has a simple configuration enabling downsizing, and it is high in operability. It is possible to open and use the portable ultrasonic diagnostic device in the state that the portable ultrasonic diagnostic device is kept mounted on the cart.

Abstract: A portable ultrasound imaging apparatus is provided, being operable when used in hand-held mode, and capable of performing operations such as starting and ending actions easily, even during an examination. The portable ultrasound imaging apparatus has a display panel 30 and an operation panel 20 on the front surface of a main body 10 that incorporates an electronic circuit constituting an ultrasound imager, and a handle on the back surface, and the apparatus is provided with operating portions 81 and 82 on the back surface, separated from the operation panel 20. The operating portion 81 may be provided on the handle 60, for instance, and while performing examination with holding the apparatus main body via the handle 60, the operating portion on the back surface is manipulated to implement functions such as starting and ending the imaging.

Abstract: A portable ultrasound imaging apparatus is provided, being compact and operable in hand-held mode, and high in operability. This portable ultrasound imaging apparatus is provided with a main body that incorporates an electronic component constituting an ultrasound imager, the main body being provided with a screen on a surface, and an operation panel electrically connected to the ultrasound imager, the main body is provided with a concave part to place the operation panel therein on the surface where the screen is formed, and a support mechanism configured to support the operation panel. The support mechanism supports the operation panel in such a manner as slidable in a direction parallel to the screen, allowing an angle of the operation panel relative to the screen to be variable.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cart for an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, having a high degree of flexibility in moving a top board on which the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is placed, and enabling a stable operation wherever the top board is moved. In the cart for the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, a vertical movement mechanism 60 is fixed on a base. A movable part 62 of the vertical movement mechanism is provided with a swing mechanism 70 that swings in the up-and-down direction, enabling up-and-down movement of the top board 10 according to both the vertical movement mechanism and the swing mechanism. The position of the movable part with which the swing mechanism is coupled is displaced forward from the vertical central axis of the vertical movement mechanism. The top board for placing the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is coupled with the swinging end of the swing mechanism, via a mechanism 80 for horizontal movement and/or a mechanism 90 for rotating the top board.

Abstract: A notebook type ultrasonic diagnosis device in which a display housing including a display panel is independently movable from a main body housing including an operation panel, and both of the display housing and the main body housing are integrally operated is provided. The ultrasonic diagnosis device includes two connectable and separable housings, a display housing 10 including a display panel, and an operation housing 20 including an operation panel, and handle portions 41 and 42 are provided in the housings, respectively. The handle portions of the respective housings function as a connection portion for connecting the two housings, and configure one handle by being linked together at the time of overlapping the two housings to be connected.
