GEL PAD FOR ULTRASOUND IMAGING
A gel pad (100, 200, 300) for facilitating ultrasound scanning between an ultrasound transducer (20) and a skin surface is provided. The gel pad (100, 200, 300) has a first surface (110) being bendable with a small degree and maintained locally flat, and a second surface (210) being more bendable th...

Abstract | A gel pad (100, 200, 300) for facilitating ultrasound scanning between an ultrasound transducer (20) and a skin surface is provided. The gel pad (100, 200, 300) has a first surface (110) being bendable with a small degree and maintained locally flat, and a second surface (210) being more bendable than the first surface (110) for contacting the skin surface. A coupling media (150) is arranged between the first surface (110) and second surface (210) with a stiffness gradient increasing from the second surface (210) to the first surface (110). The first surface (110) is capable of facilitating the ultrasound transducer (20) to move swiftly on the gel pad. The second surface (210) is capable of conforming to a non-uniform shape of the skin surface. On the first (110) or second surface (210), position markers (160) are provided for determining coordinates of the ultrasound transducer (20), by blocking ultrasound signals from transmitting through the gel pad (100, 200, 300) to generate dark strips or marks in the ultrasound images.
Coussin de gel (100, 200, 300) pour faciliter le balayage par ultrasons entre un transducteur à ultrasons (20) et une surface de peau. Le coussin de gel (100, 200, 300) a une première surface (110) pouvant être courbée selon un faible degré et maintenue localement plate, et une seconde surface (210) étant plus flexible que la première surface (110) pour entrer en contact avec la surface de la peau. Un moyen d'accouplement (150) est disposé entre la première surface (110) et la seconde surface (210) avec un gradient de rigidité augmentant de la seconde surface (210) à la première surface (110). La première surface (110) est apte à faciliter le déplacement rapide du transducteur ultrasonore (20) sur le coussin de gel. La seconde surface (210) est apte à se conformer à une forme non uniforme de la surface de peau. Sur la première (110) ou seconde surface (210), des marqueurs de position (160) sont prévus pour déterminer des coordonnées du transducteur ultrasonore (20), en bloquant les signaux ultrasonores de la transmission à travers le coussin de gel (100, 200, 300) pour générer des bandes ou des marques sombres dans les images ultrasonores. |
