    • An ultrasound transducer for imaging a target features a piezoelectric transducer element for emitting an ultrasonic wave toward the target and an apodizer fashioned from a thin sheet acoustic blocking layer. The ultrasound acoustic blocking layer is placed between the front surface of the transducer and the target for substantially blocking the ultrasonic wave emission from a portion of the front surface area defining an inactive area. The blocking layer allows transmission of the ultrasonic emission from another portion of the front surface area defining an active area, and includes a thin sheet of polymer blocking material patterned for covering the inactive area of the front surface. The blocking material is attached to the front surface of the transducer element, embedded within an acoustic lens, or incorporated into an adapter which attaches to the body of the transducer. The thin sheet of blocking material is patterned as sawteeth aligned in opposite rows and pointing toward a midline of the transducer. The sawteeth are uniformly shaped and spaced, and positioned anti-symmetric, or the sawteeth are pseudo-randomly shaped and spaced. Alternatively, the thin sheet of blocking material is patterned as a grid of pseudo-randomly selected blocking areas.

    • A catheter apparatus having a main catheter body with an ultrasound transducer mounted into a side of the catheter body proximate to its distal end providing a field of view from the side of the catheter. Mounted axially on the same side of the catheter body is a independently-controllable treatment structure having a deployable segment with a therapeutic segment proximate with its distal end and having a range of movement along a predetermined path including locations only within the imaging field. The location of the treatment structure's therapeutic segment is determinable relative to the ultrasound transducer, enabling accurate and repeated positioning of the therapeutic segment at a desired location within the imaging field where it can be imaged clearly. The treatment structure bends only at the deployable segment, which includes deflection bands connected to an articulation mechanism in a handle. The deflection bands restrict the deployable segment deflections to cause the therapeutic segment of the treatment structure to travel along a predetermined path to locations that necessarily include locations within the imaging field.
    • 一种具有主导管主体的导管装置,其具有安装在导管主体的靠近其远端的一侧的超声换能器,其提供从导管侧面的视场。 轴向安装在导管主体的同一侧上是独立可控的治疗结构,其具有可展开部分,其具有接近其远端的治疗部分,并且具有包括仅在成像区域内的位置的预定路径的移动范围。 治疗结构的治疗部分的位置相对于超声换能器是可确定的,使得能够在成像区域内的期望位置处精确地和重复地将治疗片段定位成可清晰地成像。 治疗结构仅在可展开部分弯曲,其包括连接到手柄中的关节运动机构的偏转带。 偏转带限制可展开的段偏转,使得治疗结构的治疗部分沿着预定的路径行进到必须包括成像区域内的位置的位置。

    • When monitoring a patient (32), objective data is readily collected using a vital signs monitor (VSM) (12) coupled to the patient (32) via a plurality of sensors (20). Subjective data, such as the appearance of a rash, wound or dressing, facial pallor or flush, facial expression indicative of pain, and the like, are additionally captured using an imager (22) coupled to the VSM (12). The imager (22) can be a two-dimensional barcode reader that captures a digital image of the patient (32) or portion thereof and relays the image data to the VSM (12). Images and patient vital sign data are then stored to an electronic medical record (14) and presented to a user or physician. Additionally, a standard reference color plate (30) with an optional barcode (34) can be placed on or near the patient (32), and the patient (32) and SCP (30) can be imaged. The imaged SCP (30) is then employed as a reference to perform color correction to permit a reviewing physician to evaluate the image for diagnosis.

    • An ultrasonic imaging system may include a transducer array having a novel distribution of transducer elements. Preferred embodiments of the system include a transducer having a linear, curved linear, or matrixed array of piezoelectric transducer elements. The transducer may include a novel distribution of transducer elements applied to the elevation elements, wherein the elevation aperture is divided into three sections, that is, a central section having an array of fine-pitched elements, and upper and lower sections. The novel distribution of transducer elements may be applied to the elevation elements wherein the system is adapted for a first mode of operation characterized as a near-field mode (e.g., at shallow depths), such that the transducer elements in the central section are activated to effect various purposes, e.g., beam steering and electronic focusing, and the transducer elements in the outer sections are generally not activated. The system is also adapted for a second mode of operation characterized as a far-field mode, wherein the transducer elements in both the central and outer sections are activated.
