Ultrasound imaging system providing automatic activation of a probe, which ultrasound system includes: (a) a motion sensor for detecting motion of the probe and for generating a signal in response to the motion; (b) a signal detector for detecting the signal; and (c) a probe activator, in response to a detector signal from the detector, for activating the probe. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the motion sensor is an accelerometer which is affixed to the probe.
