Ultrasound probe with integrated ECG lead: feasibility study.
We integrated electrocardiogram (ECG) leads onto the face of a cardiac ultrasound transducer and the exterior chassis of a simulated small, portable scanner to minimize the number of devices needed to collect cardiac information. Since the ECG leads were not placed on their standard locations, a precordial ECG was recorded.
