ABSTRACT:
Ultrasonic diagnostic scanheads are described which include a lighting mechanism located at the transducer end of the scanhead. The scanhead includes an integral light which is illuminated when the scanhead is connected to an imaging system. The light is color-coded in a manner which clearly identifies a particular characteristic of the scanhead such as frequency of operation. In the preferred embodiment the integral light is located in a position on the scanhead which also informs the user of the orientation of the image plane in relation to the scanhead. In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the light of a selected scanhead is modulated by the imaging system when the clinician selects the scanhead for use.
