Abstract:

Described herein are chargers for wirelessly charging an ultrasound imaging device. The charger may include a base member, a transmitter coil coupled to the base member, and a cradle extending from the top surface of the base member and including a surface configured to receive the ultrasound imaging device, where the first surface is disposed a vertical distance above the top surface of the base member. The cradle may be configured such that no portion of the ultrasound imaging device contacts the top surface of the base member when the cradle holds the ultrasound imaging device. The cradle may be configured to hold the ultrasound imaging device so as to substantially maintain alignment of a receiver coil of the ultrasound imaging device with the transmitter coil.
