    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for measuring total blood volume with ultrasound are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for monitoring a blood volume of a patient includes an ultrasound transmitter configured for emitting an ultrasound toward a target blood vessel of the patient; and an ultrasound receiver configured for receiving the ultrasound reflected from the target blood vessel of the patient. The system also includes, a controller configured for: determining an expanded state of the blood vessel based on the ultrasound reflected from the target blood vessel; determining a collapsed stated of the blood vessel based on the ultrasound reflected from the target blood vessel; and determining the blood volume of the patient based on the ratio of the collapsed stated and the expanded stated of the blood vessel.

    摘要: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: a scan controlling unit that exercises control to perform a first scanning process by transmitting an ultrasound wave in a first direction and a second scanning process by transmitting an ultrasound wave in each of a plurality of directions; an image generating unit that generates a first ultrasound image and second ultrasound images from the first and the second scanning processes, respectively; an image generation controlling unit that has a needle image generated, based on an analysis result on the brightness distribution of each member of a group of images based on the first ultrasound image and the second ultrasound images or an analysis result on the brightness distribution of each of the second ultrasound images; an image synthesizing unit that generates a synthesized image from the first ultrasound image and the needle image; and a display controlling unit that displays the synthesized image.
