The preferred embodiments described herein provide a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system with a patient support surface. In one preferred embodiment, a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system is provided that is integrated with a base coupled with a patient support surface. In another preferred embodiment, a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system is carried by a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system cart that is detachably coupled with a base coupled with a patient support surface. In yet another preferred embodiment, a first medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system assembly is provided that is integrated with a base coupled with a patient support surface. A medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system cart is also provided that carries a second medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system assembly and is detachably and electrically coupled with the base. Other preferred embodiments are provided, and each of these preferred embodiments can be used alone or in combination with one another.

Medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system with a patient support surface

The preferred embodiments described herein provide a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system with an ambient room light. The medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system comprises a transducer probe, a beamformer, a processor, and a display device. In one preferred embodiment, an ambient room light is integrated with the display device of the ultrasound system. In another preferred embodiment, the ambient room light is carried by or integrated with an ultrasound imaging system cart that carries some or all of the components of the ultrasound system. Other preferred embodiments are provided, and each of these preferred embodiments can be used alone or in combination with one another.

Medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system with an ambient room light

A diagnostic medical imaging ultrasound system comprises a flat panel display device to provide ultrasound images to an operator. The flat panel display device produces an image with sufficient contrast ratio, response time, and angular fidelity to display high-quality ultrasound images. The display device is secured to an ultrasound system cart and can be positioned away from the cart. The display device can also be secured to a structure that is physically independent from an ultrasound image generator and can be ergonomically positioned with respect to a patient and operator for superior ergonomics.
