Abstract
The present invention is directed toward an ultrasonography apparatus for measuring and/or monitoring hemodynamic activity, such as blood flow. The present invention comprises a doppler ultrasound unit, one or more transducers and a display.
Claims20
An apparatus for measuring at least one hemodynamic parameter, comprising:
- a. a doppler ultrasound unit comprising a display mounted in the unit, said unit being capable of displaying at least one measured hemodynamic parameter;
- b. a portable housing sized to be grasped in a user's hand;
- c. a switching mechanism mounted in said housing and operatively connected to the unit, the switching mechanism being capable of actuating the unit;
- d. a transducer mounting assembly connected to the housing by at least one wire such that the distance between the assembly and the housing can be adjusted by a user using only one hand;
- and
- e. at least three ultrasound transducers mounted in the assembly and operatively connected to the switching mechanism.

An apparatus for measuring at least one hemodynamic parameter, comprising:
- a. a doppler ultrasound unit comprising a rectangular display mounted in the unit, said unit being capable of displaying at least one measured hemodynamic parameter;
- b. a portable housing sized to be grasped in a user's hand;
- c. a switching mechanism mounted in said housing and operatively connected to the unit, the switching mechanism being capable of actuating the unit;
- d. a transducer mounting assembly connected to the housing by at least one wire such that the distance between the assembly and the housing can be adjusted by a user using only one hand;
- and
- e. at least three ultrasound transducers mounted in the assembly and operatively connected to the switching mechanism.
