An ultrasound probe () includes a probe head (). The probe head includes a transducer array () with a transducing surface (), an instrument guide (), and a light source (). A method includes emitting a light beam, from a light source disposed on and adjacent to a transducer array of an ultrasound imaging probe, in a direction opposite of a transducing surface of the transducer array, at an inside wall of a cavity of a subject or object. A laparoscopic ultrasound imaging probe includes a shaft, a body, an articulating member that couples the probe head, and a handle coupled to the elongate shaft. The articulating probe head includes a transducer array that generates an ultrasound signal that traverses an image plane of the transducer array, an instrument guide, and a light source arranged to emit light in a direction opposite of the image plane.

Ultrasound imaging probe

An ultrasound imaging system () includes a transducer array (). The transducer array includes a first set of transducer elements (oror) and a second set of transducer elements (oror). The first and second sets of transducer elements includes long axes and are angularly offset from each other by a non-zero angle with respect to the long axes. The ultrasound imaging system further includes a velocity processor () that processes echoes received by the first and second sets of transducer elements and determines an axial and two transverse flow velocity components based on the received echoes.

Three dimensional (3D) vector flow imaging with BiPlane phased array transducer

An elongate probe () including a probe head () with a transducer array (), a shaft () and an articulating member (). The articulating member is located between the probe head and the shaft. The articulating member is configured to articulate between a position in which the probe head extends along a longitudinal axis of the probe and at least one articulated position in which the probe head extends at a non-zero angle from the longitudinal axis of the probe. The probe further includes a stiffener () configured to controllably move from a retracted position to an extended position at which the stiffener inhibits articulation of the articulating member.
