An ultrasound imaging system comprising an ultrasound scanner for acquiring a live ultrasound image of a portion of the anatomy of a patient being examined with the ultrasound imaging system, an assistance means for providing at least one primary demonstration video clip, and at least one video display. The video display is functionally connected with the ultrasound scanner and the assistance means in order to present the primary demonstration video clip simultaneously with a live ultrasound image.

Ultrasound imaging system and method for providing assistance in an ultrasound imaging system

An opto-electrical ultrasound sensor, preferably for the use in medical diagnostics, comprising at least one light source (), a photo detector () illuminated by the light source () and capable of producing an electrical signal indicative of the intensity of the light incident on the photo detector (), and an optical ultrasound detector () located in the optical path between the light source () and the photo detector () and capable of modulating in response to an ultrasound signal the intensity of at least part of the light incident on photo detector () from the light source (). The opto-electrical ultrasound sensor further comprises intensity adjustment means () for adjusting the intensity of the light incident on the photo detector () via the optical ultrasound detector ().

Opto-electrical ultrasound sensor and system

An ultrasonic probe for optical detection of ultrasonic waves includes a membrane integrated into the probe for contact with a body, the membrane being excited to vibration by reflected ultrasonic waves, leading to a change in optical path length of a beam of light directed at the membrane, which change is determined interferometrically.
