Definitions

  • Each probe functions as a normal linear (1 D) array with a corresponding gap in the image. There is minimal overlap in the acoustic image from the two blocks of elements as all elements exist on the same linear plane. The direction/plane of propagation of each block of elements is identical.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une sonde à ultrasons (10) comportant une paire de modules de transducteurs unidimensionnels (1, 2) disposés en ligne mais espacés mutuellement en une forme en V peu profonde. Cela permet un grand espace pour la manipulation d'aiguille tout en maintenant la capacité de calculer une bonne image acoustique de la zone cible (4) sur un moteur de balayage à ultrasons. L'image ultrasonore est un produit de données provenant des deux réseaux. La sonde (10) est conformée pour permettre des possibilités de manipulation ergonomique pour l'anesthésiste. La sonde peut être tenue comme on tient un crayon sur toute partie du corps principal, ou en poussant directement sur l'arrière des réseaux. La forme de la sonde lui procure une meilleure assise sur un patient que celle d'une sonde classique.
