A spatial coherence filtering method to increase resolution in color-flow ultrasound imaging
Unmet Need Color-flow ultrasound imaging is a technique that allows for visualization of blood flow within tissues and is frequently used to diagnose cardiovascular abnormalities, guide needle biopsies, examine tumor vascularity, and measure blood flow…
A method for reducing speckle and improving resolution in ultrasound imaging
Value Proposition For many years, ultrasound imaging has been an important and popular medical imaging method. The speckle texture in ultrasound images limits the detectability of low contrast targets. With size on the order of…
A robotic system for ultrasound-guided vein localization
Unmet Need Robotic instruments are increasingly used in medical care, with robot-controlled surgical and radiological tools becoming increasingly common across a range of specialties. However, certain specialties have not yet benefited from advances in medical…
High frame rate cardiac ultrasound for visualizing small-scale heart muscle movement
Unmet Need Cardiac ultrasound is a fast, inexpensive, and non-invasive method for visualizing the structure and function of the heart and for diagnosing cardiovascular conditions such as a heart murmur or heart attack. There are…
Van-Cittert Zernike ultrasound imaging for improved contrast and noise reduction
Unmet Need Diagnostic ultrasound is used in the assessment of a broad range of medical conditions spanning tumors, heart abnormalities, joint inflammation, and thyroid diseases, which collectively affect millions of Americans annually. These conditions encompass…
Micromachined transducer arrays for improved ultrasound imaging
Unmet Need With the surge of minimally invasive surgeries comes the demand of improved imaging techniques to assist in obtaining successful outcomes. Intravascular (catheter-based) ultrasound has emerged as a leading imaging technology for minimally invasive…
A high-speed echocardiographic system that can assess cardiac function in real-time
Unmet Need Since its inception in the mid-1970s, real-time echocardiography employing phased array principles has had a significant impact on the practice of medicine particularly in cardiology. The real-time or live nature of image formation…
Adaptive ultrasound frequency selection
Unmet Need Acoustic clutter is a phenomenon that contributes to poor quality ultrasound images. It often manifests as haze with grainy patterns that overlay the true ultrasound image and reduces the conspicuity of targets by…
An automated ultrasound image acquisition method to optimize acquisition time
Value Proposition Ultrasound imaging is widely used for medical diagnostics and to guide and inform other medical procedures. While conventional B-Mode and harmonic ultrasound imaging are low-energy modes, some ultrasound imaging techniques, such as Acoustic…
A method for improving ultrasound imaging: Multi-covariate Imaging of Sub-resolution Targets (MIST)
Value Proposition Ultrasound imaging has a plethora of applications, both in the medical domain as a diagnostic imaging modality as well as the industrial domain for non-destructive testing. The potential benefits of ultrasound imaging, however,…
Methods and devices for ultrasound scanning
In patients who are obese or exhibit signs of pulmonary disease, standard transthoracic scanning may yield poor quality cardiac images. For these conditions, two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is established as an essential diagnostic tool. Current…
Improving visualization during ultrasound-guided needle insertions
Value Proposition Insertion of needles into blood vessels is a common and crucial intervention for insertion of venous and arterial catheters, as well as blood sampling. Similarly, insertion of needles into tumors and other tissues…
