Ultrasound systems for imaging internal structure of a patient including a probe (10) having a handle (20,32) and a transducer (18) arranged in connection with the handle (20,3 2) for obtaining images, either in the handle as in a transthoracic probe (10) or in a probe shaft (16) coupled to the handle as in a TEE probe (10). Controls on the handle enable a switch in the operation mode of the probe (10) and/or optimization of images obtained by the transducer (18). A display device (14) coupled to the probe (10) displays control menus and optional obtained images. A control unit (12) controls the probe (10) and display device (14) based on control activation. A change in control menu displayed by the display device (14), a switch in the mode of operation of the probe (10) and/or adjustment of images obtained by probe (10) is effected based on activation of handle control(s) (24,26,28). A foot pedal (38) can be provided including same controls (24,26,28) as the handle (20,32). |
