摘要： An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system for shear wave measurement transmits push pulses in the form of a sheet of energy. The sheet of energy produces a shear wavefront which is a plane wave, which does not suffer from the 1/R radial dissipation of push pulse force as does a conventional push pulse generated along a single push pulse vector. The sheet of energy can be planar, curved, or in some other two or three dimensional shape. A curved sheet of energy can produce a shear wave source which focuses into a thin line, which increases the resolution and sensitivity of the measuring techniques used to detect the shear wave effect.

摘要： This invention relates to a method of ultrasonically imaging a region of interest that may contain anechoic and/or hypoechoic echoes.The method comprises the steps of: providing a first and a second set of ultrasound data, said two sets comprising information of the region of interest at two different instants of time respectively, determining from the first and second data sets, a temporal consistency value of at least an area of the region of interest, and producing an image indicating this area as being hypoechoic or anechoic in accordance with said temporal consistency value. Doing so, an anechoic image produced by the method of the invention emphazises the rendering of anechoic and/or hypoechoic areas over echoic ones.

摘要： An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces an image of shear wave velocities by transmitting push pulses to generate shear waves. A plurality of tracking lines are transmitted and echoes received by a focusing beamformer adjacent to the location of the push pulses. The tracking lines are sampled in a time-interleaved manner. The echo data acquired along each tracking line is processed to determine the time of peak tissue displacement caused by the shear waves at points along the tracking line, and the times of peaks at adjacent tracking lines compared to compute a local shear wave velocity. The resultant map of shear wave velocity values is color-coded and displayed over an anatomical image of the region of interest.

摘要： The weighted-average-based position (244) in the temporal domain is computed based on the sampling of shear wave displacement (226) along the propagation path. The weighting is, for example, by displacement observed at times (230) corresponding to sampling and represents the time of arrival of the shear wave at the shear-wave propagation path location being sampled. In some embodiments, the computed shear-wave times of arrival at respective locations are functionally related to known inter-location distances (250) to derive shear-wave group velocity. The derived velocity can serve as input into known algorithms for estimating shear elasticity of the medium, such as body tissue, for purposes of clinical diagnosis and therapy assessment.

摘要： Ultrasound aberration, especially in transcranial imaging or therapy, is corrected by capturing the laterally two-dimensional nature of the aberration in the ultrasound being received, as by means of a two-dimensional receiving transducer array (104, 108). In some embodiments, transmissive ultrasound (164) is applied through the temporal window and is, for example, emitted from one or more real or virtual point sources (160) at a time, each point source being a single transducer element or patch or the geometrical focus of a collection of elements or patches. A patch may serve, in one aspect as a small focused transducer in the near field. A contralateral array (104, 108) is, in one version, comprised of the point sources. In some aspects, aberration maps structured, independent-variable-wise, to correspond to the array structure of the receiving transducer embody aberration estimates, the ultrasound device being configured for improving ultrasound operation by modifying device settings to improve the location of ultrasound reception/transmission or correct beamforming. Enhancements include beam placement visualization, and intensity and beam shape prediction.

摘要： A footwear designed for post-workout muscle recovery, while having the aesthetic appearance of a formal shoe, a semi-formal shoe, or business casual shoe, is provided herein. The recovery shoe comprises a recovery footbed cradled in a cup sole. An upper is attached to a last, and the two are attached to the cup sole. The recovery footbed comprises a forefoot portion having a substantially uniform forefoot thickness, and a heel section having a heel thickness greater than the forefoot thickness. The cup sole comprises a last receiving portion and a peripheral sidewall. The rearfoot height of the peripheral sidewall is smaller than the heel thickness of the recovery footbed and the forefoot height of the peripheral sidewall is larger than the forefoot thickness of the recovery footbed.
