  • Ultrasound Guidance System Including Tagged Probe Assembly
    Publication number: 20170007200
    Abstract: Ultrasound-based systems are described for use in guiding subdermal probes during medical procedures. The systems include an ultrasound system in conjunction with a probe detection system. The probe detection system can be used to generate a virtual image of a probe in a subdermal environment such that the virtual image is highly correlated with the actual probe location in the subdermal environment. The probe used in the system can include a tag that can provide information concerning the probe characteristics to the probe detection system.
