    摘要: An ultrasound measurement device includes: a processing device and multiple ultrasound sensors that capture tomographic information of a physiological structure. The ultrasound sensors include a first ultrasound sensor including a first transducer having a first frequency response with a first resonant frequency, and a second ultrasound sensor including a second transducer having a second frequency response with a second resonant frequency different from the first resonant frequency. The first frequency response partially overlaps with the second frequency response. The second transducer transmits an ultrasound signal that is reflected by the physiological structure to create a reflected ultrasound signal, the first transducer generates a first received signal from the reflected ultrasound signal, the second transducer generates a second received signal from the reflected ultrasound signal, and the processing device normalizes the first received signal with the second received signal or the second received signal with the first received signal.

    摘要: Aspects of the technology described herein related to controlling, using control circuitry, modulation circuitry to modulate and delay first ultrasound data generated by first ultrasound transducers positioned at a first azimuthal position of an ultrasound transducer array of an ultrasound device and second ultrasound data generated by second ultrasound transducers positioned at a second azimuthal position of the ultrasound transducer array of the ultrasound device, such that the first ultrasound data is delayed by a first delay amount and the second ultrasound data is delayed by a second delay amount that is different from the first delay amount. The first and second ultrasound data received from the modulation circuitry may be filtered and summed. The ultrasound transducer array, the control circuitry, the modulation circuitry, the filtering circuitry, and the summing circuitry may be integrated onto a semiconductor chip or one or more semiconductor chips packaged together.

    摘要: An ultrasound imaging probe including a handle configured for handheld use; a support structure disposed within the handle and comprising a thermally-conductive material, the support structure further comprising a coupling surface and an external surface, the coupling surface disposed at a distal portion of the support structure; a continuous material layer coupled to the support structure, such that the continuous material layer is disposed on the coupling surface and the external surface, the continuous material layer thereby providing a heat transmission path between the coupling surface and the external surface; and an ultrasound sensor coupled to the support structure at the coupling surface and directly in contact with the continuous material layer at the coupling surface, such that heat from the ultrasound sensor is transmitted away to the support structure via the heat transmission path of the continuous material layer.

    摘要: A system for monitoring blood flow in a patient, the system comprising: a single-element disc-shaped ultrasound transducer for fastening to the patient and a controller subsystem. The controller subsystem is configured to: control the ultrasound transducer to transmit a series of plane-wave pulses into the patient in a propagation direction; sample reflections of the plane-wave pulses, received at the ultrasound transducer, from a region within the patient, to generate pulse-Doppler response signals; and process the pulse-Doppler response signals to calculate a blood flow curve for waveform analysis.
