摘要： An intraoperative ultrasonic transducer probe is described comprising a handle section (20) and a transducer section (22) which resemble a tiny leg and foot. The two sections are obtusely angled relative to each other so that the physician may continue to clearly view the surgical site while holding and manipulating the probe. The extension of the transducer section away from its point of attachment to the handle section results in the toe (18) of the foot being insertable under unincised tissue, enabling the surgeon to ultrasonically examine organs and tissue peripheral to the surgical site and to follow a vessel even beyond the incision. The transducer section is completely encapsulated in a rubberlike material (44) which electrically insulates the transducer from the patient, enables the probe to be easily sterilized, and further provides an inherent standoff between the transducer and the contact surface of the probe. Thus, the transducer can be focused immediately at the skin line of the organ or vessel which is in contact with the probe. The probe can be easily assembled by providing termination assemblies for attaching coaxial cable conductors to the printed circuit board assembly of the probe.

摘要： An ultrasonic diagnostic system for measuring fluid flow velocities through Doppler techniques is provided which eliminates the effects of tissue motion from fluid flow velocity information. Doppler information signals are discriminated to determine the presence of signal components resulting from moving tissue, which signal components are located at frequencies of a Doppler spectrum other than the predetermined frequency location of stationary tissue signals. The tissue motion signal components present are shifted to the predetermined frequency location and removed by high pass filtering the Doppler signals. The remaining signals are then shifted back to their original frequency location and transmitted to a Doppler velocity estimator for further processing of the fluid flow velocity information and ultimate display of the information. To overcome problems of Doppler frequency inaccuracies at discrete spatial positions, the Doppler signals from a plurality of neighbouring spatial locations are examined in the aggregate to determine the frequency location of tissue motion signal components.

摘要： A system for imaging a biopsy needle with ultrasound is shown in which the needle tip elicits a Doppler response through controlled reciprocation of the needle tip. In a preferred embodiment the biopsy needle includes a hollow cannula (40) which carries a removable stylet. Means for reciprocating (44) the stylet is coupled to the proximal end of the stylet, and the distal tip of the stylet is reciprocated at the distal end of the cannula. This motion is detected through Doppler interrogation of the body region at which the biopsy is to be performed, and the Doppler response of the needle tip in the image of the body region allows the needle tip to be monitored as it approaches the tissue to be biopsied.

摘要： A needle guide for use with a medical ultrasonic scanning apparatus includes a pivoting plate on a fixed mounting plate. The mounting plate is attached to an ultrasonic scanhead whereby a surface of the mounting plate is in the plane of the ultrasound scan. An adjustable pivoting plate on the mounting plate includes at least one needle aligner, which preferably has a groove formed therein. The pivoting plate can be pivoted and locked into position on the mounting plate. An idler plate, containing an idler roller is spring mounted on the pivoting plate. The idler plate can be pivoted, whereby the idler roller moves away from the guide needle aligners. A raised wall on the pivoting plate prevents an improperly placed needle from puncturing a sterile sheath applied over the scanhead, such as in a brain scan. Thus a needle, such as a biopsy needle can be placed between the idler roller and the needle aligner and will be held in place by the spring tension on the idler roller.

摘要： The present invention is a method and structure which produces extremely thin, electrically conductive epoxy bonds (24) between two substrates (12, 14). Copper microspheres (26), having an average diameter of about 2 microns are bound in an epoxy layer (28) which bonds two substrates (12, 14) together. The microspheres (26) make electrical contact between the substrates (12, 14) while providing inter- sphere gaps which are filled with the epoxy which actually bonds the substrates (12, 14) together.

摘要： A fully wetted ultrasound scan head (10) for medical applications is described in which the motor (18) and the rotor (12) are enclosed within a sealed housing filled with ultrasound coupling fluid. The invention includes a drive belt (16) to drive the rotor from the motor, rather than a precision drive means. Speed adjustment means, including an encoder disk mounted on the rotor, provide feedback for an electronic speed controller. Accordingly, the speed of the motor can be adjusted as a direct consequence of the actual speed of the rotor.

摘要： The transducer of the present invention is diced into subelements which have a height-to-width ratio which determines the modality of their vibration. The subelements are then electrically connected to provide a transducer having the desired electrical configuration, i.e., an annular array transducer. Using the present invention, the electro-acoustic characteristics of the transducer are not determinitive of the vibrational characteristics of the individual subelements.
