    Abstract: A method and system for maintaining calibration of a distributed localization system are presented. After a baseline calibration of sensors distributed on a working instrument and reference instrument, if movement of the reference instrument is detected, shape sensing data from a Bragg shape sensing fiber also coupled to the reference instrument may be utilized to recalibrate the localization system. The reference instrument preferably is located intraoperatively in a relatively constrained anatomical environment, such as in the coronary sinus of the heart, to prevent significant movement.

    Abstract: A method and system for obtaining ultrasound data is provided. Two or more transducer elements are shorted or connected to the same transmit or receive channel for a single transmit or receive event. The affect of any grating lobes generated from shorting the transducer elements are minimized by receiving acoustic energy and then obtaining ultrasound data at a harmonic of a fundamental transmit frequency. No contrast agent is added during imaging. A multiplexer with a limited number of switches is used to short pairs of transducer elements together. Alternatively, a multiplexer with a limited number of switches is used to transmit or receive from spaced apertures, such as by connecting a channel to every second transducer element.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for ultrasound imaging of Doppler energy-related parameters is described. An ultrasound imaging system includes a transducer for transmitting an ultrasound signal into a body and receiving a reflected ultrasound signal. The system determines the energy of the reflected signal from tissue within the body. Signal processing circuitry determines a Doppler intensity spectrum of the signal reflected from the tissue. The Doppler spectrum represents energy of the tissue-reflected signal as a function of Doppler frequency and time. Integration circuitry integrates the Doppler spectrum over Doppler frequency to determine the energy of the tissue-reflected signal as a function of time for display in strip mode. The system also determines an energy-velocity product. The integration circuitry may comprise circuitry for raising the Doppler intensity spectrum to a power m to generate a first spectral function and for raising a velocity-related function to a power n to generate a first velocity function. The integration circuitry integrates the product of the first spectral function and the first velocity function to determine the energy-velocity product function as a function of time.
