Abstract
A cart-borne ultrasound system has a control panel at the front of the cart for operating the ultrasound system and a handle at the front of the cart by which a user can push or pull the cart to a different location. The handle has an opening through which a probe cable can be slipped to hang the cable over the handle during transport, storage, or use. The handle also serves to raise and lower the system control panel. The handle can also be articulated to move it out of the way of a user in front of the control panel.
