MULTIPLE-PURPOSE ULTRASOUND IMAGE ACQUISITION DEVICE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61B8/00 A61B8/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medical technology, namely to means of obtaining an ultrasound image for use with a console device. Said device is made in the form of a portable sensor having a sensor body in which the following are located: an array of transducers configured to provide an ultrasound receive signal, an image acquisition hardware assembly having a beam former, configured to control the array of transducers and additionally configured to receive the ultrasonic receive signal and provide the image signal, and a signal processor configured to receive an image signal and provide image data, an interface for connecting the ultrasound image acquisition device with a console device and a recognition device designed to recognize the operating mode of the ultrasound image acquisition device, wherein the recognition device is configured to recognize the operating mode depending on the type of the console device and/or the communication standard of the interface used, wherein the image acquisition device is configured to switch the array of transducers and/or arrangement of image acquisition hardware between at least two operating states based on the recognized operating mode, moreover, the above-mentioned at least two working conditions include the first working state, providing the possibility of obtaining a two-dimensional flat ultrasound image, and the second operating state, providing the possibility of obtaining a three-dimensional ultrasound image. Said ultrasound imaging system comprises an ultrasound image acquisition device and a console device having a display and an input device. And the ultrasound imaging kit contains an ultrasound imaging device and at least two console devices, moreover, one of the console devices is a mobile console, and the other of the console devices is a console supported by the trolley, and the ultrasonic image acquisition device is connected to one of the console devices via an interface. This method for obtaining a working state for obtaining an ultrasound image comprises the steps of providing an ultrasound imaging device, connecting the ultrasound imaging device to the console device, recognizing the operating mode depending on the type of the console device using the device recognition device of the ultrasound image acquisition device and switching the array of transducers and/or arrangement of image acquisition hardware between at least two operating states based on the recognized operating mode, moreover, the above-mentioned at least two working conditions include the first working state, providing the possibility of obtaining a two-dimensional flat ultrasound image, and the second operating state, providing the possibility of obtaining a three-dimensional ultrasound image.

EFFECT: use of inventions makes it possible to widen the range of ultrasound imaging means.
