Zusammenfassung:The control panel (14) and display (16) of a cart-borne ultrasound system (10) are support by a lift (30) which can be controlled to allow the control panel and display to be raised, lowered, and rotated. The lift has a first pivot elbow (70) mounted to the ultrasound system cart and a second pivot elbow (70) on which the control panel and display are mounted. A four-bar linkage is coupled between the pivot elbows which enables to control panel and display to be raised and lowered while maintaining the inclination of the control panel. When a control button (26) on the handle (24) of the control panel is depressed the control panel and display can be freely raised, lowered and rotated. When the control button is released the pivot elbows and four-bar linkages are locked in their current positions.
