Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a Time Gain Compenstaion (TGC) feature in an ultrasound device using a touchpad or similar device, which eliminates the need for mechanical potentiometers. The touchpad is segmented into one or more rows, wherein each row is mapped to a corresponding depth of an image. In order to set a required TGC gain setting of a particular depth of the image, a user moves his/her finger across the face of the touchpad such that the desired gain curve can be set. Finer adjustments can be done by moving the finger in the desired horizontal area of the touchpad. The mapping of the effective depths is indicated by horizontal lines on the touchpad as well as on the screen.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the subject matter described herein a system is provided. The system includes a portable host system having one or more processors and a memory for storing a plurality of applications. The one or more processors configured to execute programmed instructions of a select application by performing one or more operations, which include obtain a set of frames of 2D ultrasound images, develop a prospect model indicating a likelihood that frames within the set include an organ of interest (OOI), identify primary and secondary reference frames from the set of the frames based on the prospect model, determine a characteristic of interest in the primary reference frame, select a candidate shape for the OOI based on the character of interest in the primary reference frame, and adjust the candidate shape based on the secondary reference frames to form a resultant shape for the OOI.

Abstract: An ultrasound scanning guidance method includes acquiring an image by an ultrasound probe of a target organ during an ultrasound scanning procedure. The acquired image corresponds to a pose of the target organ in an acquired scan plane. The method further includes processing the image by a guidance unit to determine an anatomical context around the target organ based on the acquired image. The processing the image also includes determining a relative location of the acquired scan plane with reference to a standard scan plane based on the pose of the target organ and the anatomical context. The processing further includes generating scanning guidance based on the relative location of the acquired scan plane. The scanning guidance includes information to move the probe towards a standard pose of the target organ. The method also includes presenting the scanning guidance by an output device for aiding continuance of the scanning procedure.
