A portable ultrasound scanning system comprising a hand-held housing, ultrasound electronics of a complete ultrasound scanning system, including a beamformer and an image processing unit, contained within the hand-held housing. A first display comprises a touchscreen on the hand-held housing with a user input interface, at least partially presented on the first display. A probe containing a plurality of piezoelectric transducers is controlled by the ultrasound electronics and is connected to the housing via a cable. The ultrasound electronics are configured to receive signals from the probe and to convert those signals and provide converted signals to the first display to display a scanned ultrasound image on the first display. A second, larger, display is located remote from the housing. A connection arrangement is configured to selectively connect the second display to the ultrasound electronics, and automatically upon such connection, display the scanned image on the second display. |

1. A portable ultrasound scanning system comprising:
a hand-held housing, ultrasound electronics of a complete ultrasound scanning system, including a beamformer and an image processing unit, contained within the hand-held housing, a first display comprising a touchscreen mounted on the hand-held housing, a user input interface, at least a part of which is presented on the first display, and being configured to receive inputs from a user via the touchscreen and to transmit those inputs to the ultrasound electronics, a probe containing a plurality of piezoelectric transducers controlled by the ultrasound electronics and connected to the hand-held housing via a probe cable, a power supply contained within the hand-held unit and being electrically connected to the ultrasound electronics and the probe,
the ultrasound electronics being configured to receive signals from the probe via the probe cable and to convert those signals and provide converted signals to the first display to display a scanned ultrasound image on the first display, a second display, larger than the first display, located remote from the hand-held housing, and a connection arrangement configured to selectively connect the second display to the ultrasound electronics, and automatically upon such connection, display of the scanned image is presented on the second display. |
