Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system and method translates an aperture across an array transducer which is less that the size of the array. At each aperture location a transmit beam is focused above, or alternatively below, the array and a region of interest being scanned from the aperture location, resulting in broad insonification of the region of interest. At the lateral ends of the array the aperture is no longer translated but the focal point of the transmit beam is translated from the same aperture position, preferably with tilting of the beam direction. Multiple receive beams are processed in response to each transmit event and the overlapping receive beams and echo locations are spatially combined to produce synthetic transmit focusing over the center of the image field and noise reduction by spatial compounding at the lateral ends of the image field.

Abstract: A method for tracking an interventional medical device in a patient includes interleaving, by an imaging probe external to the patient, a pulse sequence of imaging beams and tracking beams to obtain an interleaved pulse sequence. The method also includes transmitting, from the imaging probe to the interventional medical device in the patient, the interleaved pulse sequence. The method further includes determining, based on a response to the tracking beams received from a sensor on the interventional medical device, a location of the sensor in the patient.

Abstract: Systems and methods for ultrasound image acquisition, tracking and review are disclosed. The systems can include an ultrasound probe coupled with at least one tracking device configured to determine a position of the probe based on a combination of ultrasound image data and probe orientation data. The image data can be used to determine a physical reference point and superior-inferior probe coordinates within a patient being imaged, which can be supplemented with the probe orientation data to determine lateral coordinates of the probe. A graphical user interface can display imaging zones corresponding to a scan protocol, along with an imaging status of each zone based at least in part on the probe position. Ultrasound images acquired by the systems can be tagged with spatial indicators and severity indicators, after which the images can be stored for later retrieval and expert review.

Abstract: An ultrasound (US) system (10) includes a US scanner (14) and a US probe (12) operatively connected to the US scanner. At least one electronic processor (20) is programmed to: control the US scanner and US probe to acquire a series of preoperative images of a tumor and surrounding blood vessels in a region of interest (ROI) of a patient; provide a graphical user interface (GUI) (26) via which the acquired preoperative images are labeled with contours of the tumor and the surrounding blood vessels in the ROI; tune a trained neural network (30) for the patient using the labeled preoperative images to generate a patient-tuned trained neural network; perform live imaging by controlling the US scanner and US probe to acquire live images of the tumor and the surrounding blood vessels in the ROI of the patient; input the live images to the patient-tuned trained NN to output live contours of the tumor and the surrounding blood vessels; and control a display device (24) to display the live images with the live contours superimposed.

Abstract: A vibration actuator (10) for mechanically generating a shear wave comprises a plurality of n rotational vibrators (141, 142, 143), an accelerometer (16), and a controller (18). The plurality of n rotational vibrators enables generation of a vibration vector with desired directional behavior selected from a plurality of vibration vectors (34, 36, 38) of different directional behaviors. Each rotational vibrator comprises an independently controllable motor (20) having a drive shaft (22) and an eccentric disk (24). The accelerometer is arranged to detect a vibration vector generated by at least two of the plurality of n rotational vibrators. The controller selectively controls a first set of two rotational vibrators to rotate respective eccentric disks in a first coordinated manner to produce a first vibration vector, and a second set of two rotational vibrators to rotate respective eccentric disks in a second coordinated manner to produce a second vibration vector, with different respective directional behaviors.

Abstract: A controller for determining shape of an interventional device includes a memory that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the controller to execute a process that includes controlling an imaging probe to emit at least one tracking beam to an interventional medical device over a period of time comprising multiple different points of time. The process also includes determining a shape of the interventional medical device, based on a response to the tracking beams received over the period of time from a first sensor that moves along the interventional medical device during the period of time relative to a fixed location on the interventional medical device for the period of time.
