Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, devices, methods, and apparatus, for coordinating scanners in an ultrasound cart. An ultrasound system can include an ultrasound cart having a scanner holder configured to hold ultrasound scanners, a display device configured to display a visual representation of the scanner holder, and at least one of the ultrasound scanners. The visual representation can be implemented to identify locations of the ultrasound scanners on the scanner holder. The ultrasound scanners can be configured to indicate, while being held in the scanner holder, that one ultrasound scanner of the ultrasound scanners is to be selected for an ultrasound examination. The ultrasound scanner can also be configured to implement a first ultrasound imaging mode when a display device is attached to the ultrasound cart, and a second ultrasound imaging mode and not the first ultrasound imaging mode when the display device is removed from the ultrasound cart.
