ABSTRACT:
A medical imaging device includes one or more planar substrates, one or more flat video screens provided on the substrates, a flexible bag connected to the substrates, and a scanner operatively connected to the video screens for providing video signals thereto. The bag is disposed on a side of the substrates opposite the video screens and is filled with a fluidic medium capable of transmitting ultrasonic pressure waves. The video signals encodes images of internal tissues of a patient upon placement of the flexible bag with the medium, the substrates and the video screens against the patient.
