摘要： Raw data reprocessing is provided for ultrasound imaging systems. Clip storing and review functions are more versatile by storing ultrasound data with phase information, such as RF or IQ data. Thorough and ad hoc reanalysis of the acquired data may be performed after the patient has left. The ultrasound imaging system provides the reanalysis without or with export of the ultrasound data. Additionally, a regular PACS system with specially installed software and hardware may also provides the reanalysis with the storing ultrasound data with phase information.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing motion adaptive frame averaging for ultrasound color flow images used to overcome lag and smearing alias of color due to motion. One embodiment of the present invention comprises an ultrasound machine for generating an color flow imaging responsive to moving tissue. The ultrasound system comprises a front end and at least one processor. The front-end is arranged to transmit ultrasound waves into the moving tissue, generating received signals in response to the ultrasound waves backscattered from the moving tissue. The processor is responsive to the received signals, calculating a motion factor by comparing at least one current b-mode frame with at least one previous b-mode frame, determining motion using at least the motion factor, increasing a level of frame averaging if the motion factor is below a first predetermined threshold, and decreasing the level of frame averaging if the motion factor is above a second predetermined threshold.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method and apparatus providing tissue harmonic imaging using an ultrasound machine. Coded pulses and the phase inverted version of the said coded pulses with time bandwidth greater than 1 are transmitted into the tissue. Backscattered echoes are received and filtered before or after coherent summation. Decoding/compressing of the received echoes of the coded pulses is implemented naturally through the propagation of the specially designed ultrawide band (>80%) waveforms inside tissue and pulse inversion. Costly decoding/compression filter are not necessary.

摘要： Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for improved ultrasound imaging using single transmission coded excitation. Certain embodiments include encoding a first ultrasound beam with a first code, transmitting the first ultrasound beam on a first path, encoding a second ultrasound beam with a second code, transmitting the second ultrasound beam on a second path and receiving echo signals from the first and second ultrasound beams. The codes may be complimentary Golay codes or other complimentary codes. The first and second paths may be adjacent scan lines. The method may also include match filtering the echo signals with corresponding matched filters. Match filtered echo signals along adjacent scan lines may be filtered, such as with a lateral averaging filter or other finite impulse response filter. Alternate complementary code transmission helps preserve or improve frame rate while maintaining signal-to-noise ratio improvement and range lobe cancellation.
