Publication number: 20110046488Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a post-operative care unit for analysing and quantifying an ultrasound tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) signal from a transducer fastened on the myocardium to obtain a parameter indicating regional cardiac ischaemia or correlates with global hypokinetic heart function. This has the advantage over manually operated probes that it can be automated and used continuously over long time. According to the method, a TDI signal trace corresponding to at least one of tissue velocity, strain or strain rate is extracted and correlated with an electrocardiogram to define subsections within a cardiac cycle in the extracted trace corresponding to the early systolic phase and the post-systolic phase. Then, a velocity, strain or strain rate is read in at least the post-systolic phase of the extracted trace, and a parameter which is a function of one of these readings and which indicates ischaemia or global hypokinetic function is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2008Publication date: February 24, 2011Applicant: OSLO UNIVERSITETSSYKEHUS HFInventors: Ole Jakob Elle, Erik Fosse, Halfdan Ihlen, Andreas Espinoza, Lars Hoff

Patent number: 7307537Abstract: The invention relates to an identification chip for insertion in an object located in a liquid. The identification chip comprises an acoustic resonator (100), which exhibits a number of distinct resonant frequencies, where the combination of resonant frequencies is unique to the identification chip. This enables the identification chip to be identified by exposing it to an acoustic polling signal, measuring an acoustic response signal and analysing the frequency of the response signal. The resonator (100) comprises a cavity-forming part (110, 120) and a membrane (130). The acoustic resonant frequencies are determined by at least one cavity (140), which is enclosed by the cavity-forming part (110, 120) and the membrane (140). The identification chip can be implanted in a fish, with the object of identifying the fish when it is located in water.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2002Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Vivid ASInventors: John Brungot, Lars Hoff, Sverre Holm, Arne Rønnekleiv, Dag Thorstein Wang, Ralph William Bernstein

Publication number: 20070066893Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of processing ultrasound images from a subject preadministered with an ultrasound contrast agent wherein quantitative measures of the contrast enhancement pattern of said lymph nodes are generated. The lymphatic system is made of vessels or ducts that begin in tissues and are designed to carry lymph fluid to local lymph nodes where the fluid is filtered and processed and sent to the next lymph node down the line until the fluid reaches the thoracic duct where it enters the blood stream. Lymph fluid which enters the lymph vessels carries with it substances and materials from the tissue, e.g. antigens, particles and cells. The lymph nodes process the lymph fluid by sieving it and macrophages inside the nodes remove particulate and cell material carried by the lymph fluid via phagocytosis.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2004Publication date: March 22, 2007Inventors: Morten Eriksen, Lars Hoff, Henrik Rasmussen, Audun Tornes, Jonny Ostensen

Patent number: 5980460Abstract: Temporal variations in backscatter from an ultrasound contrast agent located in the vascular system and induced by movement of the scatterers are used to visualize the presence of contrast agent by determining areas where correlation between successive ultrasound images is poor. This low level of correlation from intravascular contrast agent movement permits distinction between stationary bulk tissue and moving bulk tissue since movement of the latter solid tissue scatterers is correlated.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1998Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: Nycomed Imaging ASInventors: Jonny .O slashed.stensen, Morten Eriksen, Lars Hoff, Sigmund Frigstad, Nils Sponheim, Knut Dyrstad
