Abstract
The present invention provides a portable ultrasound system being superior in operability and design properties, and being allowed to take various storage postures fitting to the volume of a storage place. The keyboard unitprovided with an input device such as a keyboard and the display unitincorporating a display part are mounted on the main body unitthat incorporates a main part of the ultrasound diagnostic system, respectively about the rotation axes Pand P, independently, in such a manner as rotatable, and further the rotation axes Pand Pare on a common axis P. The rotation axis partsupporting the display unitis supported by the bearing of the main body unit in a part lower than the axis P, allowing the display unit to be rotatable about the rotation axis Q that is orthogonal to the axis P. With this configuration, it is possible to take an operating posture that allows the display unitbeing upright to swivel, and multiple storage postures in which the posture of the main body unitwith respect to the keyboard unitand the display unitare variously changed.
