摘要： Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed for use in tomographic ultrasound imaging, large aperture ultrasound imaging and therapeutic ultrasound that provide for coupling acoustic signal transducers to body structures for transmitting and receiving acoustic signals. The acoustic signal transmission couplants can conform to the receiving medium (e.g., skin) of the subject such that there is an acoustic impedance matching between the receiving medium and the transducer. In one aspect, an acoustic coupling medium includes a hydrogel including polymerizable material that form a network structured to entrap an aqueous fluid inside the hydrogel. The hydrogel is structured to conform to the receiving body, and the acoustic coupling medium is operable to conduct acoustic signals between acoustic signal transducer elements and a receiving medium when the hydrogel is in contact with the receiving body such that there is an acoustic impedance matching between the receiving medium and the acoustic signal transducer elements.

摘要： A catheter includes a shaft part having a first shaft and a second shaft. The first shaft is a cylindrical member having a guide wire lumen into which a guide wire is inserted. The second shaft is a cylindrical member having an imaging lumen into which an imaging device for acquiring an image of an interior of a living body lumen is inserted, and is disposed alongside the first shaft. In a first region from a first position at a distal end portion of the shaft part to a second position further on a proximal end side than the first position, the second shaft is not joined to the first shaft. In a second region that is continuous with the first region and that is further on the proximal end side than the first region, the second shaft is joined to the first shaft.

摘要： An ophthalmic device comprises an ultrasonic transducer, an accommodation actuator, and a controller. When the ophthalmic device is mounted in or on an eye of a user, the ultrasonic transducer is positioned to direct ultrasonic signals towards ciliary processes in the eye and the accommodation actuator is positioned to focus light entering the eye. The controller is coupled to the ultrasonic transducer and the accommodation actuator. The controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the ophthalmic device to perform operations including emitting the ultrasonic signals from the ultrasonic transducer towards the ciliary processes, receiving reflected ultrasonic signals from the ciliary processes with the ultrasonic transducer, calculating a time of flight between emitting the ultrasonic signals and receiving the reflected ultrasonic signals, and adjusting an optical power of the accommodation actuator based on the time of flight.

摘要： The present invention provides a clamp (10) for clamp for retaining a medical device in a medical apparatus. The clamp (10) includes a pair of opposed gripping elements (16). At least one of the gripping elements is substantially rotatably moveable to grip and apply a compressive force on a portion of the medical device when the portion it is placed between the gripping elements. The compressive force increases when the at least one of the gripping elements rotates in one direction and reduces when it rotates in an opposite direction.

摘要： Devices and methods for providing access to the pericardial cavity while reducing risk of myocardial damage including advancing a puncture device towards a heart, the puncture device including an energy delivery device at a distal end of the puncture device; delivering a single pulse of a pulsed energy through the energy delivery device to a parietal pericardium of the heart to create a void relatively close to the energy delivery device while maintaining the distal end of the puncture device in a substantially stationary position relative to the parietal pericardium; advancing the puncture device a short distance into the void; checking if the puncture device has accessed the pericardial cavity by measuring pressure on the distal end of the puncture device; and repeating, if necessary, until the energy delivery device is located at least partially within the pericardial cavity.

摘要： In an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and an operation method of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus of the invention, a control circuit performs polarization processing on a plurality of ultrasound transducers in a non-diagnosis period, during which transmission of ultrasound waves and reception of reflected waves for performing ultrasound diagnosis are not performed, in a case where the cumulative driving time of the plurality of ultrasound transducers for performing the ultrasound diagnosis becomes equal to or longer than a specified time. A transmission circuit generates a first transmission signal having a driving voltage for performing ultrasound diagnosis using a pulse generation circuit in the case of performing the ultrasound diagnosis, and generates a second transmission signal having a polarization voltage for performing polarization processing using the same pulse generation circuit as in the case of generating the first transmission signal in the case of performing the polarization processing.

摘要： An ultrasound imaging system including an ultrasound imaging apparatus operable to acquire ultrasound image data and an add-on vibration inducing device operable to generate shear waves. The add-on vibration inducing device is connected cordlessly to the ultrasound imaging apparatus. The add-on vibration inducing device can be powered and controlled by the ultrasound imaging apparatus. The add-on vibration inducing device includes a connector to scanner which connects cordlessly to a power connector on the ultrasound imaging apparatus for transmitting the power and the control signals from the ultrasound imaging apparatus to the add-on vibration inducing device. The ultrasound imaging apparatus can be used separately from the add-on vibration inducing device for ultrasound imaging procedures and the add-on vibration inducing device can be easily mounted on the ultrasound imaging apparatus when the user wishes to perform an elastography diagnostic procedure.
