    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for fusing tissue characterization information into ultrasound images. In one example, a method includes obtaining first image data of an anatomical region of interest (ROI) of a patient, the first image data including tissue characterization information and acquired with a first imaging modality; obtaining second image data of the anatomical ROI of the patient, the second image data acquired with a second imaging modality; registering the first image data and the second image data; adjusting the second image data based on the tissue characterization information and the registration, wherein the adjusting includes filtering, adjusting colorization, adjusting brightness, and/or adjusting material appearance properties of one or more aspects of the second image data; generating a fused image from the adjusted second image data; and outputting the fused image for display and/or storage.

    Abstract: The current disclosure provides systems and methods for an automated image comparison system that generates natural language descriptions of images. In an example, the image comparison system is configured to carry out a method that includes acquiring a current image of a patient during a current exam, generating, with a computer vision-enabled large language model (CV/LLM), a first compressed representation (CR) of the current image, obtaining a second CR of a similar image, the similar image similar to the current image and acquired in a prior exam, generating a text-based comparison of the current image and the similar image using the CV/LLM by entering the first CR and the second CR as input to the CV/LLM, and outputting the text-based comparison.

    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for conveying information about cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization (e.g., processing) of touchable components of a medical device using visually detectable indicators (VDIs). Information regarding processing of an ultrasound device may be conveyed by configuring the ultrasound device to include a first component with a first visual indicator to indicate a first processing level and a second component with a second visual indicator to indicate a second processing level. Implementing visual indicators to convey information about processing may reduce time, cost, and other resources used to process medical devices compared to conventional processing methods wherein the entire medical device may be processed to one processing level.

    Abstract: An automated measurement system for an ultrasound and/or echocardiographic imaging system enhances reproducibility of measurement results and accommodates form movement in the measurement of the images by combining measurements across multiple cardiac cycles/multiple echocardiogram images. The automated system provides these benefits by initially selecting the cardiac images/cycles for which valid measurements can be obtained within constraints defined by the automated system. With these selected cycles, the automated system then combines the measurements from the selected cycles into a global measurement for the desired parameter or parameters for the combined cycles. This measurement(s) can then be presented to the operator in conjunction with the image or cycle representation for the cycle best approximating the global measurement results, optionally along with the results for the deviation of the combined measurements in the form of display icons representing the deviation from the illustrated cycle image.

    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for display of live images. In one example, a method for motion compensation in the live images includes acquiring a first set of imaging data from a visible sector of an imaging system, the visible sector including a region of interest displayed to a user, and acquiring a second set of imaging data at an area offset from the visible sector, during the acquiring of the first set of imaging data. The second set of imaging data is used to compensate for gross motion of the region of interest resulting in displacement of at least a portion of the region of interest outside of the visible sector.
