IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO ULTRASOUND DEVICES

摘要

The present invention describes an ultrasound probe (5) for a haemodynamic monitor, the probe containing ultrasound transmit and receive crystals (10) and an additional transducer (11) to measure a further physiological parameter in the region of the probe. Output data from the transducer (11) is preferably digitised close to its source and fed back to the system processor (7) via a communications bus provided to pass data between the probe and the processor.
