摘要： Displaying breast ultrasound information on an interactive user interface is described, the user interface being useful in adjunctive ultrasound mammography environments and/or ultrasound-only mammography environments. Bilateral comparison is facilitated by a pairwise display of thick-slice images corresponding to analogous slab-like subvolumes in the left and right breasts. Coronal thick-slice imaging and convenient navigation on and among coronal thick-slice images is described. In one preferred embodiment, a nipple marker is displayed the coronal thick-slice image representing a projection of a nipple location thereupon. A convenient breast icon is also displayed including a cursor position indicator variably disposed thereon in a manner that reflects a relative position between the cursor and the nipple marker. Preferably, the breast icon is configured to at least roughly resemble a clock face, the center of the clock face representing the nipple marker location. Bookmark-centric and CAD-marker-centric navigation within and among thick-slice images is also described.

摘要： An apparatus and a method are disclosed for obtaining ultrasound images of a patient's breast that is chestwardly compressed with a template that is essentially planar and rotates relative to the breast while one or more ultrasound transducers moving with the template take 2D images of the breast through one or more respective radially oriented slots in the template, preferably through a membrane that is porous to a gel. The 2D images are processed into slice images representing breast slices of desired thicknesses and orientation that are displayed alone or with some of the 2D images, preferably pairs of orthogonally disposed 2D images.

摘要： Acquiring, processing and presenting breast ultrasound information to a user is described. Breast tissue is scanned with an ultrasonic transducer array to generate sonographic image information of the tissue in multiple angles using beamsteering techniques. Sonographic image information is stored in a storage system. One or more image selection buttons are provided that allow the viewer to select which angle or compound image should be displayed. In response to user input, sonographic images are displayed in the desired views, thereby facilitating analysis of the patient's breast tissue by the user. The sonographic image information can be processed real-time, in response to and according to user input. Image selection buttons are described which can soft buttons displayed to the user. The appearance of the soft button can change to indicate the type of image being displayed.

摘要： Navigation among breast ultrasound volumes derived from different volumetric ultrasonic scans of a same breast is described. On a display of a breast ultrasound workstation, a first image derived from a first ultrasonic volume is displayed. A user selection of a source region of interest (ROI) in the first image is received. A destination ROI within a second ultrasonic volume is identified that at least roughly corresponds to a same locality of tissue in the breast as the source ROI. A second image derived from the second ultrasonic volume and including the destination ROI is displayed, the destination ROI being highlighted.

摘要： A transesophageal ultrasound probe allowing for scan-plane rotation comprises an endoscope with a probe head connected to the distal end of the endoscope. A transducer is secured to the probe head. A transfer mechanism is connected to the transducer. A motor at the distal end of the endoscope is connected to the transfer mechanism. Finally, an electrical wire is connected to the motor. The transesophageal ultrasound probe uses a motor in the tip of the transesophageal ultrasound probe for scan-plane rotation.

摘要： The priority of the flow of packets representing calls or other connection requests within a packet network (10) is determined from the Class-of-Service of the call. Upon receipt of a call, a recipient router (121, 122, 123) identifies available paths, typically by exchanging messages with the other routers in the network. After selecting the path, the recipient router or centralized bandwidth broker determines whether the links comprising the selected path have available bandwidth for the class of service of the call. If so, the router routes the call to the next hop along the path. Otherwise, the router selects another path(s) and checks whether the links on the path possess sufficient bandwidth for the class of service of the call.

摘要翻译： 在分组网络（10）中表示呼叫或其他连接请求的分组流的优先级是根据该呼叫的服务等级来确定的。 在接收到呼叫时，接收者路由器（121,122,123）通常通过与网络中的其他路由器交换消息来识别可用路径。 在选择路径之后，接收者路由器或集中带宽代理确定包括所选路径的链路是否具有用于该呼叫的服务类别的可用带宽。 如果是这样，则路由器将该呼叫路由到沿路径的下一跳。 否则，路由器选择另一路径，并检查路径上的链路​​是否具有用于呼叫服务类别的足够带宽。

摘要： An originating switch (110) in a packet-based telecommunications network (100) routes calls to a terminating switch using the combination of Success-to-the Top (STT) and Class-of-Service criterion. In routing a call to the terminating switch, the originating switch 110 checks for available bandwidth for the class of service of the call on the direct path (116) between switches. If the path has available bandwidth, the originating switch routes on the direct path. Otherwise, the originating switch searches for the most recently successful one of a plurality the via switches (1181-118n) linking the originating and terminating switches to determine whether that via switch can successfully route the call to the terminating switch. If the most recently successful one of the via switches possesses available bandwidth to route the call in accordance with its class of service, the originating switch 110 selects that via switch to route the call. Otherwise, if the most-recently successful via switch can not route the call, the originating switch 110 searches for a next successful via switch. If none of the via switches 1181-118n can successfully route the call in accordance with its class of service, the originating switch will either attempt a route advance or crankback the call.
