Claims20
A diaphragm for an ultrasound device, the diaphragm comprising:
- a housing configured with a receiving cavity defined by one or more sidewalls, wherein the receiving cavity is configured to hold a conductive medium;
- and
- a connector formed in the housing for connecting the diaphragm to an ultrasound device.
A head assembly for an ultrasound device, the head assembly comprising:
- a housing configured with a diaphragm wall disposed within the housing;
- a sidewall formed around a perimeter of the diaphragm wall and extending out from the diaphragm wall to define a first cavity, wherein the first cavity is configured to receive a portion of a conductive medium;
- a second cavity in the housing for containing an ultrasound transducer for generating ultrasound energy, wherein the ultrasound transducer is connected to an internal surface of the diaphragm wall;
- and
- a connector formed in the housing for connecting the head assembly to an ultrasound device.
