    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to configuring an ultrasound system with imaging parameter values. In particular, certain aspects relate to configuring an ultrasound system to produce a plurality of sets of ultrasound images, each respective set of the plurality of sets of ultrasound images being produced with a different respective set of a plurality of sets of imaging parameter values; obtaining, from the ultrasound system, the plurality of sets of ultrasound images; determining a set of ultrasound images from among the plurality of sets of ultrasound images that has a highest quality; and based on determining the set of ultrasound images from among the plurality of sets of ultrasound images that has the highest quality, automatically configuring the ultrasound system to produce ultrasound images using a set of imaging parameter values with which the set of ultrasound images that has the highest quality was produced.

    Abstract: The systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of an imaging target of an ultrasound scan. In one aspect, an ultrasound device having a two-dimensional (2D) flat array of micromachined ultrasound transducers can utilize beam steering to take a series of ultrasound images at a range of angles along an axis. The images may be collected, analyzed and processed to generate a 3D model of the subject matter from the series of images. The system can then display, to a user, a view of the imaging target from a point of view other than the point of view at which the target was originally imaged.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processing device in operative communication with an ultrasound device. The processing device is configured to: receive a user selection of a lung imaging preset option and a user-selected imaging depth for the ultrasound device; define a threshold imaging depth based on a shallow lung imaging mode and a deep lung imaging mode (the threshold imaging depth is between approximately 4 cm and 8 cm); after receiving the user selection of the user-selected imaging depth, compare the user-selected imaging depth with the threshold imaging depth; and automatically configure the ultrasound device to switch between the shallow lung imaging mode and deep lung imaging mode, depending upon a result of the comparison of the user-selected imaging depth with the threshold imaging depth.

    Abstract: Systems that include an array of ultrasound transducers divided into two or more sub-arrays where for example, a one or two dimensional array, with a long axis in a lateral direction, may be divided in half. The system may include a different beamformer for each sub-array. Each sub-array may define independent and spatially separated sub-apertures. The spatial separation of the two sub-apertures allows for aperture compounding to reduce speckle because the received ultrasound waves at each sub-aperture are propagating in a different direction with respect to each other. This may allow the point spread function for the ultrasound signals corresponding to each sub-aperture to be decorrelated for reducing speckle. The speckle can be reduced by averaging the ultrasound signal from each of the sub-apertures, and a higher resolution can be maintained by also using the signal from the full aperture.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for automatically updating scan patterns used during ultrasound imaging. A handheld ultrasound system may include an ultrasound device with a two-dimensional array of ultrasound transducers, and a smartphone or tablet that configures the ultrasound device to obtain a first ultrasound image frame using a scan pattern defining an acoustic beam. The system then updates the scan pattern to optimize a view of the desired anatomy. When the system is operating in cardiac imaging mode, the scan pattern may be updated by adjusting the azimuthal tilt and/or the elevational tilt of the acoustic beam. When the system is operating in lung imaging mode, the scan pattern may be updated by adjusting the elevational tilt and/or the translation of the aperture of the array of ultrasound transducers. The system then configures the ultrasound device to obtain a second ultrasound image frame using the updated scan pattern.
