Abstract:
The present invention relates to devices including a plurality of voids that enhance visualization of the devices in a patient using ultrasound imaging. The sizes of the voids can vary to accommodate ultrasound devices having different ultrasound wave frequencies. The present invention is also directed to a method for using ultrasound imaging technology to detect the location of devices comprising a plurality of voids in a patient. An ultrasound device, such as a wireless, portable ultrasound device, may be used to propagate ultrasound waves towards the patient where the device is inserted. An ultrasound imaging device may then be used to generate an image of the device or a portion thereof from which the location of the device in the patient can be determined.
