An ultrasonic diagnostic device includes a probe configured to transmit an ultrasonic wave to a subject and to receive the ultrasonic wave reflected by the subject; an image processor configured to convert ultrasonic image data based on the ultrasonic wave received by the probe, into digital data; a main body configured to output the digital data output from the image processor; and a connector configured to electrically connect and disconnect the image processor with respect to the main body.

Ultrasonic diagnostic device and ultrasonic diagnostic system

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a probe configured to transmit ultrasonic waves to a living body and receive ultrasonic waves reflected by the living body; and a processor configured to, in a moving image mode, cause ultrasonic image data based on ultrasonic waves received by a first subset of the total number of oscillators that the probe has to be output, and, in a static image mode, cause ultrasonic image data based on ultrasonic waves received by a second subset of the total number of oscillators that the probe has to be output, wherein the number of oscillators used in the second subset is greater than the number of oscillators used in the first subset.

Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and ultrasonic diagnostic system

A processor of a general-purpose terminal acquires position information indicating whether a biological body is punctured from a first side of an ultrasonic probe apparatus or a second side opposite to the first side and angle information indicating a puncture angle, where these items of information are entered on a touch panel of a display, transmits these items of information to the probe apparatus via a wireless communication circuit, acquires, via the communication circuit, image information generated and transmitted by the probe apparatus based on reflected waves obtained by transmitting ultrasonic waves into the biological body from the probe apparatus at a first angle based on the above information, superimposes a puncture guide indicating a puncture path based on the above information on an ultrasonic image of the biological body or a puncture needle based on the image information, and displays a result of the superimposing on the display.

Ultrasonic probe control method and computer-readable storage medium holding program

A pulse signal generator circuit generates first and second pulse signals for electrodes placed on the chest of a subject with phases that differ by 180&#xb0;. A rectifier circuit receives a potential difference signal, which reflects an impedance between the electrodes that changes according to respiratory motion and in which timing of changes caused by changes in the first pulse signal or the second pulse signal is delayed from the timing of the changes in the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal, and outputs a rectified signal produced by rectifying the potential difference signal. A control signal generator circuit causes the rectifier circuit to invert the potential difference signal, which becomes a negative voltage value from the certain timing, to a positive voltage value from the certain timing. An AD converter circuit outputs a digital value based on the magnitude of the rectified signal.

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the influence of pump ripple and to achieve fast control of cuff pressure with a general purpose magnetic valve when continuously measuring blood pressure. A blood pressure meterincludes a pump, a cuffto be mounted on the site of blood pressure measurement of a subject, a first valve, a first pressure sensor, a detection sensor, a second valve, and a second pressure sensor. The blood pressure meteralso includes a valve opening adjustment unitand a blood pressure measurement unit. The first valveadjusts discharge volume of the pumpand the second valveadjusts cuff pressure inside the cuff. The first pressure sensordetects the discharge pressure of the pump, the second pressure sensordetects the cuff pressure, and the detection sensordetects the amount of light associated with the volume of the artery at the site of blood pressure measurement of the subject. The valve opening adjustment unitacquires the discharge pressure, the cuff pressure, and the amount of light, and adjusts the openings of the first valveand the second valve. The blood pressure measurement unitmeasures the blood pressure of the subject on the basis of the cuff pressure.
